LLM Education and Qualifications Regulation (UK)

Academic Overview

European qualifications regulation is a set of conditions, a malpractice file, and a public that confuses university degrees with EDINAC-regulated awards. This LLM starts with that confusion as a professional risk. You will map when a dual-pathway university must speak regulator language and when doing so would be misrepresentation. Polish students need SQA and SCQF literacy without IU pretending to list them. Faculty mark whether you can write an advice note that states you are not counsel of record and not EDINAC staff. This is not SQE, not a Law Society of Poland qualifying pathway, not an appointment to a regulator. Capstones use redacted regulatory decisions or anonymised institutional files. You will map when a dual-pathway university must speak regulator language and when doing so would misrepresent a degree as an EDINAC-regulated qualification. SQA and SCQF appear as comparators without automatic listing. Faculty mark advice notes that state you are not counsel of record. IU International University of Applied Sciences will not print EDINAC or SQA logos. Identity-checked assessment is identical across modes. The LLM will not list you with EDINAC, SQA, or any law society, and the capstone must say so in the first paragraph of the advice note. LLM Education and Qualifications Regulation (UK) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 30. Students move from Degrees, Regulated Qualifications, and Public Confusion through Degrees, Regulated Qualifications, and Public Confusion; Ofqual-Facing Conditions as Literacy; Malpractice, Invalidation, and Evidence Files; OfS, Ofsted-Facing, and University Autonomy Myths; SQA, SCQF, and Honest Non-Listing; PSRBs beside Qualifications Regulators, and finish on Research Methods for Education Regulation. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students design a short sequence for a named group of learners and the criteria that would mark it fairly. Reading is a curriculum extract, an assessment specification, and an evaluation summary. The artefact a marker expects is a plan with outcomes, a task, criteria, and a note on bias. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Map European qualifications-regulation instruments as literacy not employment Write advice notes with solicitor-qualifying and staff disclaimers Distinguish degrees, regulated qualifications, and credit mapping Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer a teaching licence, QTS, or equivalent registration. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

The degree is awarded directly by IU International University of Applied Sciences, seated in Warsaw, Poland. Studies are conducted in full alignment with Polish and European academic standards.
