Law covers nearly all aspects of human activity – from the contract you enter into when you buy a chocolate bar to your right to express yourself freely.

Queen Mary’s long-established Law LLB is your first major step to becoming a barrister, solicitor or for exploring many different legal practice (and other) career paths. For those wishing to pursue a career path towards legal practice, this renowned degree gives you a strong foundation for the future with its strong focus on analysis, problem solving, attention to detail, argument and communication. It’s an excellent option for students pursuing a legal career or with a general interest in law.

In your first year you’ll study the core principles of law and learn the skills you need to read and apply legal authorities, such as case reports, academic commentary, Acts of Parliament and EU legislation. Your second and third years will allow you to choose from a broad range of specialist fields – such as human rights law, criminology, intellectual property and medical negligence.

Students accepted into this programme may then opt to apply for the competitive and highly prestigious, LLB Law in Practice. This extended, four-year degree gives you the unique opportunity to complete an eight-month, paid work placement at a leading legal service provider with whom we partner in your third year. These employer opportunities are at a number of international law firms, an in-house legal team, family law practices and a charity.

Student Testimonial

“Queen Mary is always trying to improve the lives of its students. Everyone is approachable and cares about your wellbeing. Career and academic support are excellent – my professors are always there for me. I’ve learned a lot, too. My goal is to train as a commercial solicitor and the transferrable skillset I’ll get from pro bono work for the Legal Advice Centre will be a huge asset. My cohort is very international, you’ll never find the same type of person here, but what that’s taught me is that we’re not so different.”

Teaching and learning

First-year law students receive approximately 12 hours of contact time per week. For each module there is usually a two-hour lecture supplemented by a one-hour weekly or fortnightly small group tutorial.

For every hour spent in class, you’ll complete a further four to six hours of independent study. This time is spent reading, preparing for formal study sessions, working on projects and revising for exams.

A new Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) was introduced in September 2021. The LLB at Queen Mary helps to prepare students for the SQE but equally helps to prepare students for the Bar exams.

Assessment

Each individual modules’ assessment is varied and may include one or more of written exams, oral presentations, midterm essays and coursework.

In the final year of all our law programmes, students have the option to research and write a dissertation on a legal topic in place of a taught module.
