We have a lively and supportive research culture with a number of specialist research groups led by internationally recognised academics. As a doctoral or master’s student, you will be encouraged to become involved in the School of Law’s research activities and will have the opportunity to work alongside Oxford Brookes academics who are at the forefront of a wide range of internationally recognised and world-leading research and projects.
Our LLB course for undergraduates covers all requirements set by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board known as the seven ‘Foundations of Legal Knowledge’. As a ‘Qualifying Law Degree’, it provides a firm grounding on which you can start to build your legal knowledge and skills. It forms the academic stage of your legal training and is the first necessary step to becoming a solicitor or barrister. In addition an array of optional modules are available, allowing you to choose and develop specialist subject interests as part of your studies. We also offer a Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) for graduates of non-law degrees who wish to move into the legal profession.
Our range of postgraduate LLM courses in International Law are underpinned by the world-leading research being undertaken by academic staff in the School. Continuing your studies at postgraduate level enables you to specialise in particular areas of law such as International Human Rights Law or International Trade and Commercial Law amongst others.
