If you hold an undergraduate degree in a non-law subject and are considering a career in the legal profession, our MA Law (Conversion) with Legal Practice offers a fast-track route into the field, combining academic depth, professional relevance, and critical legal training.
Our conversion course is your pathway into the legal profession and will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to become practice-ready.
Designed for graduates in non-law disciplines, the Masters will introduce you to different areas of law. You’ll gain an insight into the diverse career opportunities open to you, including through further study to qualify as a solicitor or barrister.
Using real-world and simulated scenarios, you’ll practise interviewing clients, drafting contracts, and offering advice on complex legal problems and disputes. We’ll cover advocacy skills too and get you to present arguments in front of a judge in our mock courtrooms.
Our personalised approach includes lots of student support and interaction with staff. You’ll be taught by academics and experienced lawyers with a wide range of expertise – spanning family law and criminal law through to international and refugee law.
You can draw on this knowledge to inform your dissertation topic, which could cover a specialist area that interests you or a policy or contemporary issue. There will also be opportunities to hear from guest speakers, build professional networks, and explore voluntary work with real clients.
The Masters will provide a solid foundation so you’re ready for the next step in the legal profession. You could go on to take a Bar Practice Course (BPC) if you want to become a barrister, or progress onto our LLM Legal Practice (SQE Preparation) course if you want to pursue a career as a solicitor.
On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: MA Law and Legal Practice
