Overview

The Law programme offered at Bangor University aims to allow students to further develop their legal knowledge and understanding of theories, concepts, values, principles and rules of law within a social, national and global context.

Careers

In addition to developing your expertise in specialist areas, studying for a Masters of Law degree adds value to your CV and enhances your career opportunities. The skills set of an LLM graduate includes legal research and writing, analysis, and critical evaluation and communication skills, which are highly valued by both the public and private sector alike.

Students can also benefit from our clinical legal education programme and CYMUNED employability scheme. In addition, Law takes part in the annual College Employability Fair, which introduces students to a variety of prospective employers in traditional and non-traditional legal careers. Students can also develop additional advocacy skills in our moot courtroom.

LLM study opens a range of professional opportunities for students hoping to develop a career within domestic, regional or international law, or those already in a legal career. Studying a Masters of Law (LLM) can also help you gain employment in sectors such as;

the civil service
