Who is the MA in Law designed for?
The MA in Law is designed for UK non-law graduates, and for law and non-law graduates from other countries who wish to acquire a thorough grounding in English Law. It is particularly attractive for those who wish to enter the English legal profession. For those students, it is an alternative to a graduate-level CPE/GDL programme. By spreading study over two years of intensive postgraduate-level work, students gain a greater depth of understanding than is possible in one year CPE programmes, together with experience in legal research and in a specialist area of their choice. Both arts and science degrees are a good foundation for the MA in Law. Students who have already studied some common law may be admitted. Applications are also encouraged from students who may have graduated some time ago and who are now seeking a change in career.
