The Law Department at Sunderland is well-respected, and our Master of Laws will add to your credentials in an area in which you already practise or are proposing to work. On this course, you’ll undertake two core modules: ‘Criminal Law and Justice’ and ‘International Perspectives in Law’. You will also choose a further two options that match your particular career ambitions and intellectual interests. You will be taught by passionate academics who produce internationally-excellent research. A typical week for you will include a wide variety of teaching and learning methods, including weekly three-hour workshops. These are interactive and require a high level of preparation. The research project and dissertation are supervised by your tutor. Your progress will be assessed by written coursework, usually a 5,000 word essay for each taught module.
