Law looks at the relationships, interactions and transactions between individuals, government and state at a local, regional, national and international level. With a broad focus and application, the law degree encompasses private and public law alongside wider socio-legal perspectives. You will study key aspects of the law and develop a wide range of transferable skills, relevant to your future career trajectory. Our links with the professions, the wide range of additional opportunities within the school and the development of a highly nuanced skill set helps to create highly sought-after graduates.

The Law School at QUB is ranked 9th in the UK for Law (Complete University Guide, 2026), and ranked joint 3rd in the UK for Law Graduate prospects (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, 2026).

Course highlights

Global Opportunities

You will have the opportunity to take part in overseas exchanges with partner universities in Europe, North America and China.

There are opportunities to study or work abroad, which are supported through various funding schemes. This can significantly enhance the employability of students and the global opportunities open to them.

Professional Accreditations

This is a Qualifying Law Degree (QLD), which means that students will be studying modules that are required for the academic stage of legal qualification. Students also have the opportunity to explore their interests in final year with modules offered that allow them to specialise in a particular area, or simply receive a more rounded sense of what ‘Law’ is. Many of these modules consider law and law-like interactions on a local, national and international level.

Industry Links

Law students have the unique opportunity of working with industry leaders through commercial awareness events and other negotiation exercises that offer insight into the legal practice (and services) world but also providing an enhanced skills development experience.

The Law School at Queen's has a well-established tradition of regular consultation with legal professional bodies and top international law firms that is very beneficial for students.

Career Development

Although a large percentage of our students are interested in pursuing careers in Law, significant numbers develop careers in a wide range of sectors. Typical career destinations of Law graduates include Solicitor, Barrister, Legal Analyst, Compliance Officer, Business Analyst, Research and Policy Officer.

The legal sector in Northern Ireland is vibrant with graduate employers, who are recognised globally and have offices in Belfast, including A&O Shearman, Baker McKenzie, Herbert Smith Freehills, A&L Goodbody, Pincent Masons, CitiGroup, Deloitte, PwC and Eversheds Sutherland.

Past students have gained work placement with organisations such as the Council of the EU, European Commission, European Parliament, United Nations (UN), Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Council of Europe, and Thomson Reuters.

World Class Facilities

The £20m School at Queen’s offers students access to world-class facilities such as a fully interactive Moot Court room, a One Button Recording Studio, bookable study rooms and a wellbeing room.

Internationally Renowned Experts

Students in the School of Law are taught by world leading experts in the areas of Law, Human Rights, Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies. Our staff have close research links with the professions, government and Civil Society.

Student Experience

Students can join a number of student-led initiatives within the school including the Law Society, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Society, the Women in Law group and the Street Law project. Other initiatives include the Global Skills Project, LawPod, Queen’s Student Law Journal, Lawyers without Borders, the student magazine ‘The Verdict’ and the Mooting Society.

Further Study Opportunities

Further study is also an option open to Law graduates. Students can choose to progress to a vocational course (Solicitor or Barrister course) or can choose from a wide range of Master’s programmes as well as a comprehensive list of research topics (see the Law School website).

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the School of Law at Queen's. The law degree has been challenging, but rewarding at the same time. I have learnt new things, made new friends, and lived abroad and experienced a foreign way of life. Besides the school, Belfast is a wonderful city to live in, especially for international students. It has been a wonderful experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I strongly recommend Queen's School of Law to anyone thinking about studying law in the UK."\ Khan Pearly, School of Law International Student

“Studying law appealed to me because I wanted a rewarding career that would enable me to make a difference in the world. A law degree is undoubtedly challenging; however, it develops a platform of transferable skills that employers highly value, because you are dealing with real-world problems and using critical thinking skills to find creative solutions.\ My experience of studying law at Queens has been exceptional, with lecture inputs from leading academics and practicing experts in their field. At tutorial groups, led by talented barristers, I have been given the opportunity to hone my communication skills through challenging debates. Undertaking the Careers and Placement Module was one of my favourite learning opportunities; it was invaluable because it gave me the chance to engage with an employer, and get first-hand experience of what a career in a professional setting was really like.”\ Reuben McCausland (LLB Law, Level 3 student)

“The School of Law at Queen’s University has both academic and social programs targeted specifically at international students. This really helped me to adjust and flourish. Though there were some slight differences, I quickly came to see the similarities in UK and US laws. I adore tutorials as they provide me with the opportunity to understand the topics at hand, bring up any rebuttable issues I may want to argue and to draw out of other students their perception on a topic. The curriculum can be challenging but the academic staff do a great job of relating the topic to professional scenarios, thus encouraging me to grasp the topic. The friends I’ve made have really helped me. Studying in the School of Law at Queen’s University has been a very positive experience.”\ Sherlly Alceus, School of Law International Student
