  This programme is specifically designed for students who already hold a first degree in a subject other than Law. The programme offers non-law graduates the chance to obtain a postgraduate qualification that will exempt them from the Common Professional Examination. The MA in Law is a qualifying law degree, so you can go straight on to the appropriate vocational stage of legal training once you have successfully completed the programme. As the programme is run over two years, instead of the more usual one year, you will acquire a more in-depth knowledge of the law over a much wider range of legal subjects.
