Course Overview

Two dedicated law careers tutors are on hand to discuss career options and upcoming opportunities and advise about different firms.

We host a wide range of external speakers yearly representing the legal profession.

You get the chance to develop your legal skills during the course:

In addition, the Legal Advice Clinic allows you to advise non-law students on legal issues (with support from academics and local solicitors).

The ‘LEGAL WEEK’ is an informal student-staff discussion group that runs every two weeks and discusses contemporary issues with legal implications. ‘LEGAL WEEK’ allows interaction and fruitful exchange of ideas and improves current awareness.

Your professional competencies can be enhanced by getting involved with the Student Law Society's debating, client interviewing, negotiating, and mooting activities. You will be able to choose eight option modules. The choices will enable you to combine one or more modules on different areas of law, including commercial law, human rights, and medical law, to meet your special interests or niche career plans.

Your LLM degree will equip you with advanced, specialized legal training and broaden your career options. Our course will be of particular help if you are planning a career in non-specialist legal practice or widely based legal policy-oriented organizations, whether commercial, non-governmental organization, or government based.

We have more than 60 members of the academic staff who are all active in research in their chosen fields, meaning you will be taught by academics working at the cutting edge of their subject.
