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.

Student Testimonials

The MLaw at Queens has given me the opportunity to critically engage with the law in a way that is both practical and theoretical. One of the highlights of the programme is being taught by legal scholars and practitioners at the top of their field. The programme gives you the chance to debate serious legal issues in a way that is both engaging and educational through moots and in-class debates. But University isn't just about the course you study, it's about the people you meet and the MLaw programme has given me the chance to meet and become friends with people from a multitude of different backgrounds such as teaching, pharmacy, business and politics, now searching for a legal career.\ Robert Murtagh
