News and Events
QUB Law School is pleased to announce an exciting addition to our postgraduate provision with the launch of the JD (Juris Doctor). A three-year, full-time programme, the JD delivers a Qualifying Law Degree to graduates in a discipline other than law and provides the necessary professional exemptions to allow holders to apply for the professional stage in England and Wales, North America and elsewhere.
The JD at Queen’s is a programme unique in the UK and Ireland. As a direct response to changes in legal practice and in the market for higher education in law, the JD is aimed at students who see their careers in international or global terms and who seek a legal education that will open up a wide range of opportunities, such as practice in leading international firms, multinational agencies and intergovernmental bodies. The programme includes opportunities for students to undertake short placements or internships outside the University in Level 3 and also affords students the opportunity to spend a semester of their 3rd year studying at another University from a selection of international study abroad partners with which the Queen’s Law School has an agreement.
