Career Prospects

A postgraduate law degree is an internationally-recognised qualification that can open up opportunities for a wide range of roles across the public, private and third sectors.

Intellectually challenging and personally fulfilling, the LLM in Law and Society will give you unique insight into the connected areas of the law, rights, justice, human behaviour and society that can be of enormous benefit when working in legal practice in areas such as family law, criminal law or social welfare law. You could also pursue careers with national and international charities and NGOs, or in law reform, for example, with the Law Commission for England and Wales, the European Court of Human Rights or European Commission on Human Rights, or the International Court of Justice or International Criminal Court.

By developing your ability to undertake critical analysis, solve complex problems and present rational, coherent and accurate arguments orally and in writing, you’ll graduate with essential skills valued by legal and non-legal employers alike, in areas such as banking, insurance and Civil Service.

The specialist research skills you learn, particularly on Pathway 2, provide a strong foundation for pursuing further study at doctoral level for those interested in doing so. Pathway 2 is recognised as fulfilling the requirements of the ESRC postgraduate social science research training and development and as the first master's year of '1+3' awards, which means you can apply for postgraduate funding.

Positions may include:

• Academic
• Barrister
• Consultant
• Lawyer
• Newspaper journalist
• Policy officer
• Scientist
• Social worker
• Solicitor
• Teacher
