MA Law

University of Bristol · September 2027 · 2 years

Is this the right route?

Bristol's two-year MA Law is intended for graduates from other disciplines and teaches foundation units alongside legal research and writing. Its route and duration differ from a one-year specialist LLM, so a prospective student should compare professional plans and the current regulatory requirements before assuming the degrees serve the same purpose.

What to verify before applying
