MA Law

Course Description

It doesn't matter if your undergraduate degree was in the arts, science or engineering. A law career is a real possibility for graduates of all kinds. This two-year MA is the perfect conversion course. There are regular seminars and talks with professionals, including barristers and judges who studied here. We also run practice interviews to help you prepare for training contract interviews with law firms. Our Bar Society organises trips to the Inns of Court. Members of the judiciary give advice on joining the bar. You're welcome to take part in either of our two pro bono schemes: the FreeLaw drop-in centre for the public and the Innocence Project, which investigates cases of wrongful imprisonment.
