Integrated Master's in Law and Practice MLaw (incorporating LLB(Hons))
Your course
This degree is a unique programme that aims to give you access to both a wide range of legal theory by incorporating a full LLB law degree, as well as taking an extended approach to professional practice with additional specialist practicebased training and clinical legal experience.*
As you would expect, the course is rigorous and engaging, for outcomes that are highly rewarding. Graduating with a law degree (LLB(Hons)), as well as with a Masters qualification, you’ll learn the skills designed to allow you to work towards taking the new Solicitor’s Qualifying Exams and be able to pace these over years three and four.
In your final year, you will gain access to a range of specialist modules such as Commercial Property, Employment or Family Law and Practice and Immigration and Asylum Practice to help prepare you for professional practice in these fields. Alongside this, if your application to the Legal Advice Clinic is successful, you’ll get the opportunity* to spend up to a full academic year working with solicitors with real life clients building up your formal Qualifying Legal Work Experience, which is needed to become a solicitor. As well as gaining an understanding of the law itself, studying a law degree will teach you a wide range of essential skills such as how to construct an argument, how to communicate with clients, the importance of attention to detail, and the ability to work in a team as well as on your own initiative.
