Course summary
This degree offers an accelerated two-year programme for graduates who seek a law degree. It allows graduates in any discipline to obtain a qualifying law degree after two-years full-time study. The degree includes essential law modules for those considering a career in legal practice in Northern Ireland, and in England and Wales. Exemptions in other common law countries may be possible. For instance, in Canada the degree would likely qualify you to apply for an NCA (National Council on Accreditation) assessment and exempt you from the non-mandatory exams in Property, Tort, Contracts. The School The School of Law has an excellent reputation for teaching, research, student support and student development. In the Times 2024 ranking of UK law schools, Ulster is ranked in the top 20. The School of Law seeks to achieve excellence in teaching, research and professional development. The School provides a range of LLB courses, all of which are Qualifying Law Degrees (QLDs) for the purposes of the legal professions, as well as a range of postgraduate courses. We embed employability in our curriculum and so students develop practical skills such as mooting as well as skills in problem-solving and writing research papers. We offer extensive career development opportunities and have numerous partnerships with leading law firms and civil society organisations. Teaching at the School of Law is research-led. In the UK’s independent review of research, 46% of the Law research at Ulster was assessed as ‘world-leading’, the highest level of research excellence. The Campus Located in the heart of the vibrant Cathedral Quarter, the new campus provides a progressive learning, teaching and research environment supported by the best innovative technology, allowing us to nurture talent and innovation. The campus features state-of-the art facilities, including a purpose-built moot court room and a podcasting suite for law.
