Study Details: 2 Years Full-time 4 Years Part-time
The Masters in Law (MLaw) is an accelerated two-year, full-time (or four-year part-time) postgraduate degree in law.
The programme provides students from diverse backgrounds with an opportunity to study the foundational law modules which are required for the academic stage of legal qualification. This means that the degree covers those subjects that are generally regarded as pre-requisites for professional legal studies.
Students planning to practice law in a particular jurisdiction should contact the appropriate regulator in that jurisdiction to confirm that the programme meets its requirements.
Normally a 2.1 Honours degree or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University in a discipline other than Law. Graduates holding law degrees that are not recognised by the Institute of Professional Legal Studies, Northern Ireland are also eligible to apply (for example international applicants with law degrees, those with Scottish Law degrees, or those with degrees from the Republic of Ireland that have not been recognised).
Exemption from these requirements may be considered for those applicants who hold a Master's degree (or equivalent qualification acceptable to the University) OR hold a 2.2 Honours degree in a discipline other than Law (or equivalent qualifications acceptable to the University) together with 2 years’ relevant professional experience.
Graduates who hold a law degree recognised by the Institute of Professional Legal Studies, Northern Ireland may not register for this programme.

This Masters programme 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 law. It is particularly attractive for those who wish to enter the legal profession, for whom 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. Queen's postgraduates reap exceptional benefits. Unique initiatives, such as Graduate Plus, bolster our commitment to employability, while innovative leadership and executive programmes alongside sterling integration with business experts helps our students gain key leadership positions both nationally and internationally.
