Intro

Our postgraduate qualifying law courses expand the knowledge of those working in the justice, social and consumer sectors, as well as supporting a move to a career as a barrister or solicitor.

Recognised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board, this LLM enables graduates in non-law related studies to convert to a career in law.

Experienced lecturers at
