Course summary

This master's will set you on track for a successful career in law and help you develop valuable skills employers look for.

This course mixes taught modules with independent research. You can negotiate the topic of your dissertation to fit your personal interests and the expertise of our tutors.

You'll gain advanced skills and knowledge in a specialised area of law. As a result, you’ll have an important edge when applying for roles in the Crown Prosecution Service, police, and prison or probation services. Salaries of law graduates are among the highest of all graduates.

You’ll also be better equipped to apply for training contracts or pupillages, if this is appropriate to your career stage.

How you'll learn

We use a wide variety of teaching and learning methods which include weekly three-hour workshops. These are interactive and require a high level of preparation. You’ll also undertake a research project and dissertation which are supervised by your tutor.

Your progress will be assessed by written coursework, usually a 5,000-word essay for each taught module.

Compared to an undergraduate course, you'll find that this master's course requires a higher level of independent working.
