This programme is an accelerated, fast-track, senior status postgraduate degree in Law. The specially devised curriculum builds on the fact that you will have already benefited from a university level education by enabling you to acquire a qualifying law degree in only 21 months, rather than the 3 years it would normally take to obtain an LLB. The programme is carefully structured to cover the foundation areas of legal knowledge and to develop your core legal skills, while providing an opportunity for further specialist study. The MA in Law is recognised by the Law Society and the Bar Council as a qualifying law degree for practice in England and Wales.

The MA in Law programme offers a wide choice of career paths. Graduates qualify as solicitors or barristers in the UK, and some also qualify as lawyers in jurisdictions beyond the UK. They go on to work in private practice, as in-house legal counsel for businesses or in the public sector. Some act as advisers in international organisations such as the European Union or the United Nations, or for international NGOs and other agencies. A number of graduates choose to pursue an academic career as researchers at Universities in the UK or abroad.
