SFU-Exeter Accelerated Law Program
ALP Linguistics course planning map
Traditional law school routes typically take at least seven years to finish, but often more than that. The SFU-Exeter Accelerated Law Program allows you to complete your studies and become a lawyer in less time, all without having to take the LSAT. In six years, you can graduate much sooner and be prepared to enter the legal profession and maximize your earning potential.
This course planning map is for Fall 2026 secondary school entrants who intend to declare as a Linguistics Major in the SFU–Exeter Accelerated Law Program (ALP). The purpose of the course map is to ensure that students meet the admission requirements to the University of Exeter Law School and that they are on track to complete the program within 6 years. You can download the course map PDF here.
