Legal English is the unique terminology, expressions, and vocabulary used within the courts of English-speaking countries. Those who choose to pursue one of these programs often learn both about the English language and about different legal systems.

Many students earn associate degrees during their first few years of higher education. Since they usually require about two years of study, these degrees can act either as job qualifications or as precursors to more advanced degrees.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
