Overview

The Law programme offered by the University of Bristol is similar to a ‘Graduate LLB’ or a 'Law Conversion Course (GDL)' but studied over two years providing a greater depth of study and comprehensive legal grounding. Students who have completed this programme can proceed to the professional stage of legal training with the advantage of gaining a Master’s level postgraduate law degree.

You will develop a thorough grounding in the seven foundations of legal knowledge – Contract, Land Law, Public Law, Tort Law, Criminal Law, EU Law and Trusts. For your eighth subject, you will choose from a wide range of optional postgraduate units from our LLM programme catalogue, or research and write your own research project under the expert supervision of a member of staff.

Career prospects

Graduating from a world-leading university can open doors for careers in a variety of sectors. Individuals who have completed the MA in Law have gone on to:

qualify as solicitors or barristers in the UK, and as lawyers in other jurisdictions,

work in private practice, as in-house legal counsel for businesses or in the public sector,

act as advisers in international organisations, or for international NGOs and other agencies,

study further in the UK or overseas.
