Course content
Our postgraduate qualifying law courses expand the knowledge of those working in the justice, social and consumer sectors, as well as supporting a move to a career as a barrister or solicitor.
Recognised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board, this LLM enables graduates in non-law related studies to convert to a career in law.
Experienced lecturers at Brighton Law School will support you through this practice-led, skills-based course, integrating guest talks from local practitioners and judges.
Extracurricular activities, such as mooting, client interviewing and pro bono work, allow you to develop practical skills in legal research, problem-solving, critical analysis and communication.
