Law Conversion LLM

Our LLM Law Conversion course is designed for students who hold a non‑law undergraduate degree. It provides the essential legal foundations required to transition into the profession and equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue positions such as solicitor or barrister. The course enables you to develop a core understanding of the foundations of legal knowledge. It equips you with the substantive knowledge required for the vocational stage of training so you can progress to the Bar Training Course (BTC) or the Solicitors’ Qualifying Examination (SQE). Experienced lecturers at Brighton Law School will support you through this practice-led, skills-based course which integrates guest talks from local practitioners and judges. Extracurricular activities, such as mooting, client interviewing and pro bono work, allow you to develop practical skills in legal research, problem-solving, critical analysis and communication.

Students applying for this course must fall into one of the following two categories. You must have obtained a good honours degree awarded by a recognised UK or Republic of Ireland institution (at least 2:2 standard if you want to qualify as a barrister). Applicants with non-standard UK degrees or qualifications obtained overseas may need to obtain a Certificate of Academic Standing. Prospective barristers should obtain the certificate from the Bar Standards Board.
