Course summary

This master's degree will set you on track for a successful career in law and help you develop valuable skills employers look for, including ‘Advanced Legal Skills’ and ‘International Perspectives in Law’.

This course mixes taught elements with independent research, and you can negotiate the topic of your dissertation project to fit both your personal interests and the supervisory expertise of Sunderland's tutors.

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 for applying for training contracts or pupillages, if this is appropriate to your career stage.

What you'll study

If you’re studying at a study centre, please contact the centre directly for up-to-date module information.

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.

Entry requirements

We usually require you to hold at least a 2:2 honours degree in a relevant area.

We also welcome applications from students who have experience in a range of disciplines and professional backgrounds. To discuss your application, please get in touch and the course leader will be able to advise.

If English isn't your first language, please see our English language requirements.
