Page "Bachelor of Civil Law" Paragraph 10

These bachelor's degrees in Quebec civil law ( LL. B., B. C. L.

or LL. L.

depending on the university ) are a first-entry degree programme which, like other first-entry university programmes in any discipline in Quebec, require a college diploma for entry.

Except in the cases of both Ottawa and McGill, they are three years in length.

The common law LL. B.

and Quebec civil law LL. L.

are combined in programmes offered by both the University of Ottawa and by McGill University.

McGill offers a " transystemic program " of 105 credits.

Students can choose to complete the curriculum in 3, 3. 5 or 4 years.

Admission to the McGill programme is a first-entry programme in the case of Quebec students ( as a college diploma is required ) while it is a second-entry programme in the case of students from other provinces ( as two years of university studies is required, effectively one extra year of studies more than for a college diploma ).
