Diploma in Planning and Environmental Law
This diploma course aims to provide a comprehensive practical overview of the current legislative framework in the planning and environmental realms.

This course is designed to provide in-house lawyers or aspiring in-house lawyers with a comprehensive understanding of the varied, challenging, and stimulating work that confronts those working in business and in the public sector. The in-house role has evolved from a traditional role of ‘head of legal’ to a more dynamic, high-level and business-oriented position. Feedback confirms that the in-house lawyer is obliged to ‘wear many hats’ and negotiate with a variety of stakeholders. Participants will recognise the varied role of the in-house lawyer and the many business and interpersonal skills that the position requires, and they will assess how to best manage business expectations while juggling the competing interests of various stakeholders.
The deadline to apply for this course is 10 February 2026.
Diploma in Corporate Law and Governance
This Diploma aims to provide students with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the law in relation to this changing sector, which has seen numerous changes since the introduction of The Companies Act 2014 and the recent commencement of The Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Act 2021.
The course focuses on key events that occur throughout the lifetime of a corporate entity—those that solicitors commonly advise on—as well as the practical aspects of corporate governance. An innovative boardroom simulation workshop offers students an interactive opportunity to experience boardroom meetings and develop an understanding of effective board behaviour.
The closing date for applications for this course is 25 February 2026.
