Our MA programme is open to all graduates with a 2.1 honours degree or above.

The course offers the opportunity for non-law students to convert to an accelerated, fast-track, senior status postgraduate degree in Law. It builds on the fact that you will have already benefited from a university level education and enables you to acquire a qualifying law degree in only 21 months, rather than the three years it would normally take to obtain an LLB.

The programme is carefully structured to cover the foundation areas of legal knowledge and to develop your core legal skills. The elective options provide you with an opportunity for further specialist study.

What our MA students say: 

“I would certainly recommend the MA course to any students who have completed an undergraduate degree and are interested in Law. This course will allow you to gain all the necessary knowledge to practice law, but also leaves some room for you to pursue your own specific interests with an optional unit which may even cater to your existing education.” Mackenzie Burnet

“The MA in Law at the University of Bristol Law School is the strongest postgraduate qualifying law degree course in England. As an accelerated postgraduate professional law degree it is one of the best in the world.” Thomas Chambers

"I converted from History to Law through Bristol’s 21 month MA course. Completing the full degree really helped me obtain pupillage." Francis Ng, Barrister
