The Program
Learn from world-leading academics so you can become an expert yourself
Our intellectually demanding, research-informed curriculum is delivered by academics who are leaders in their fields. As a Russell Group university, and a top 3 UK law school for legal research excellence (REF2021), our academics are leading the way in diverse areas of legal research. It is this combination of teaching and research excellence that sees our graduates stand out - going on to shape and inform policy and legislation around the world and across many sectors.
Choose from a diverse range of LLMs and units
The knowledge and expertise of our academics informs our distinctive and exciting range of LLMs with programmes including the LLM International Law, LLM Banking and Finance, LLM Health, Law and Society, LLM in Human Rights Law, LLM in Employment, Work and Equality and many more to choose from. The pioneering research of our academics has also influenced a diverse range of optional modules that enable you to tailor your own degree.
Exciting opportunities for non-law graduates
Our MA in Law is an accelerated, senior status postgraduate degree. This law course will enable you to graduate in two years versus three with an LLB – and with a deeper understanding of law and legal reasoning than is possible with a one-year programme. On this course you will also have the chance for specialist study with optional units that reflect the expertise of our academics - setting it apart in terms of helping you achieve the highest aspirations you have for your future career.

Live and learn in great facilities, an exciting UK city and one of the largest legal centres outside of London
The Law School facilities provide the very best blend of tradition and innovation. Much of the teaching is based in the iconic Wills Memorial Building at the heart of Bristol, with its gothic tower, Great Hall and library - and gargoyle framed windows of its lecture halls. Across the road in Berkeley Square is another historic building, refurbished to house modern research suites, seminar and tutor rooms and a state-of-the-art moot court where you can also test out your debating and negotiating skills. Bristol itself is a vibrant, culturally diverse city, small enough to feel warm and friendly, but big enough to provide outstanding extracurricular opportunities, including a host of clubs, sporting activities and community and volunteering groups.
