The CertHE/CHESS programme is equivalent to the first year of the LLB/BSc programme. Students who have successfully completed the CertHE/CHESS are automatically accepted by Universal College Lahore into the Second Year of one of the degree. They shall then be able to complete the degree in three years (minimum) just like other students who enrolled through the Standard route.

The CertHE/CHESS is designed for those students who are mature students (18 or above) and do not meet the University of London’s admission criteria, i.e those students who do not have the required ‘A’ Level/Bachelor qualifications or who wish to obtain a qualification in its own right but do not wish to do the complete degree.
