The LLB Law with Transnational Legal studies degree programme at King's is exciting and novel in bringing together participating institutions from a range of countries and traditions to focus on transnational legal studies, rather than purely upon international law. As a King's student on this programme you will be able to study global issues with students from top universities in the United States, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Israel, Singapore, Brazil, Italy and Canada. Both practising and academic lawyers work in an increasingly global community and there is consequently a strong interest in transnational aspects of legal study. The programme strikes a balance between teaching the core modules needed to obtain a qualifying English law degree and the opportunity to study a highly diverse and interesting range of module options. The Center for Transnational Legal Studies recently received the 2011 Andrew Heiskell Award for International Partnerships from the Institute of International Education (IIE).

King’s law graduates are popular with many types of employers. The majority of our students choose to become solicitors in a wide range of firms including Magic Circle, US and other leading law firms and specialist niche firms. Some choose broader business roles such a financial analyst, management consultant or graduate trainee. Others find their law degree opens up opportunities in international development, advisory work, the public sector and teaching. Although the employment market is competitive, our students have been very successful in obtaining posts with the firms or sets of chambers for which they wanted to work. Many law firms will target you but they expect very high quality, motivated applicants in line with those from other top law schools both in the UK and overseas. King’s Careers Service provides you with all the information and activities you need to make an informed career choice and to increase your chances of success.
