Start a career in law without spending another three years studying. We’ve designed this two-year programme for students who have a degree in a different area but want to change direction. It’s also a great option if you studied law outside the UK and didn’t cover core UK law modules.
Queen Mary is home to the QM Legal Advice Centre, as well as being a hub for experienced practitioners, researchers and honorary King's Counsel members. We even have a podcast “ReImagineLaw” that demystifies different areas of legal practice.
You can connect with legal experts from major City firms such as Reed Smith, BCLP and Mishcon de Reya, as well as practices focusing on social justice and charities, including Z2K. We also work with in-house legal teams of major corporations such as CHANEL.
Supporting your success
Just like our standard LLB programme, you’ll start with the basics like Acts of Parliament and EU legislation, as well as mastering the skills you need to understand legal documents. Then you’ll pick from a range of specialist fields such as criminology, intellectual property or medical negligence.
Worried about returning to education? As well as support from our teaching team, you’ll have access to the student-led Senior Status Society, which offers support with coursework and organises events exclusively for Senior Status students. So, make your ambition a reality and start your journey into law with us.
