MLaw Masters in Law

This programme aims to provide students not only with a qualifying law degree recognised for entry into the profession in NI, but also provides the opportunity to choose a range of postgraduate taught elective modules to tailor make a Masters in Contemporary Legal Studies that fits their future goals.

The programme will start with eight core law modules along with formative Legal Methods and Skills workshops. Students will then build on this foundational legal knowledge to choose a number of postgraduate taught elective modules for their second year of study from areas as diverse as law and technology, commercial law, intellectual property law, criminology and international human rights law.

This unique opportunity to combine both core legal modules along with electives in specialist areas will allow these students to gain knowledge, develop legal reasoning skills, hone their research skills and then build on these in their second year by conducting more intensive research and growing more critical and analytical in their legal writing.
