ABOUT

Our PGDL guides tell you EXACTLY what you need to know to smash your exams, without all the additional waffle that lecturers throw at you. Our guides break down key concepts into bite-sized, easy to understand chunks. We use tables, diagrams, and flowcharts to help you understand the law more quickly AND we do it in the way you need for your exams.

Examiners want you to answer questions in a certain manner – but other textbooks and manuals only tell you the law, rather than showing you how to apply it for exam success. That’s why our Core Guide includes structured answers that take you through the law and show you how to apply it, step-by-step, to problem questions, so you are 100% ready for your exams. Topics are addressed as template answers to “problem questions” to match the format in which the PGDL is typically examined. Our Case Book summarises over 3,000 PGDL law cases. Each case has the facts and legal principles summarised, with key cases picked out to make learning quicker. Our bundle includes both our PGDL Core Guide and our PGDL Case Book.

Fully updated for the 2023-24 academic year, this bundle is a MUST HAVE guide for all PGDL students.

We also have a PGDL ULaw Smash Your Studies Bundle for students studying the PGDL or MA Law at the University of Law.

WHICH VERSION SHOULD I BUY?

We know that everyone learns differently, which is why we have created different ways for you to use our guides:

1. Our printed guide is our original printed book. All topics are printed in grey scale, with full colour covers to protect your guide, and thick card tabs to help you quickly navigate between topics. Our printed guides use a wiro binding to ensure that your guide sits flat on the table. This is perfect for students that like to have an actual book to take to lectures, make notes in, and tab up for your exams.

2. Our loose-leaf guide comes pre-hole punched (4 holes), ready for you to place directly into your own folder. If you like to create your own notes, but don’t have the time to copy out large sections of textbook (who does, right?!)… this is PERFECT for you! The hole punched guide allows you to integrate your notes directly into your own notes and gives you the flexibility to re-order our subjects to suit your personal needs. Please note that this version does not include tabs or covers.

3. Our MyLiveBook Interactive e-Book allows you to access your guide directly from your laptop, phone, or tablet. You can highlight, annotate, add photos and search your guide both online and offline. Links within the book allow you to quickly jump between topics. This is perfect for students that like to work on one (or multiple) devices rather than on paper, or for those that like to work on the go.

4. The blended learning pack is our creme-de-la-creme way to learn! This includes both a wiro-bounded printed guide OR loose-leaf guide sent direct to your house, and immediate online access via our MyLiveBook Interactive e-Book! The ultimate way to ensure that you always have access to your notes, whether sat at your desk, or on the go!
