Law Senior Status LLB
Queen's University BelfastBelfast, United Kingdom
Course overview
This graduate entry accelerated law degree offers students the opportunity to study, in two years, the courses required to allow them to progress to the next stage of their legal education. This degree programme attracts students from the UK, Ireland and North America creating a cosmopolitan learning environment. Students benefit from studying law in one of the oldest and most prestigious Law Schools on these islands with an international reputation for excellence.
In recent years our graduates have gone on to legal careers in Canada, the UK and Ireland. Queen’s is a popular destination for Canadians wishing to obtain a law degree from the UK. Some Canadians choose to remain in the UK and Ireland, whilst the majority choose to return home to practice.
Students beginning their Law studies with Queen’s will benefit from the introduction of a new Canadian Constitutional Law course onto the curriculum. The introduction of the course will support Canadian students intending to qualify in Canada to prepare for the NCA challenge exams. The course will be optional for all students to ensure that maximum choice and preference in course specialisations remains core to the Queen’s offering.
This is part of Queen’s University package of support for Canadians and other international students wishing to return home to practice. Additional supports include talks and presentations from the NCA on qualifying in Canada. At QUB Law School students have the opportunity to gain real world legal skills as well as an excellent understanding of law from an academic perspective.
