Law (Hons) Queen Mary University of London

Overview

This Law (Hons) degree offered at Queen Mary University of London incorporates all the compulsory modules needed to meet Bar Council and Law Society requirements, and has a strong focus on analysis, attention to detail, argument and communication. It’s an excellent option for students pursuing a legal career or with a general interest in law.

In your first year you’ll study the core principles of law and learn the skills you need to read and apply legal authorities, such as case reports, academic commentary, Acts of Parliament and EU legislation. Your second and third years will allow you to choose from a broad range of specialist fields – such as human rights law, criminology, intellectual property and medical negligence.

Students accepted into this programme may then opt to apply for the competitive and highly prestigious, LLB Law in Practice. This extended, four-year degree gives you the unique opportunity to complete an eight-month, paid work placement at a leading legal service provider with whom we partner in your third year. These employer opportunities are at a number of international law firms, an in-house legal team, family law practices and a charity.
