The MA Law programme is designed for law or non-law graduates aiming to gain a legal qualification at Master’s level. Students aiming for the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws (PCLL) are welcome to apply for the course as it allows students to progress onto the Legal Practice Course (LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC).
The structured course is taught by qualified lawyers with lectures and practical workshops, and with online resources and learning tools to develop students’ legal skills.
The GDL is an alternative to the MA Law and is ideal for non-law graduates who wish to work as a solicitor or barrister.
