Your future
The Global Legal Studies LLB will prepare you for a career in the globalised legal space.
Law firms are going increasingly global, operating across many jurisdictions, and working with clients around the world. A Global Legal Studies LLB will help you respond to these demands of law in practice.
Our programme opens up career avenues in law-related institutions such as international organisations, global charities, and non-governmental organisations working to address global challenges.
The Global Legal Studies programme includes the Foundations of Legal Knowledge, which will help you go on to study to become a solicitor or barrister in the UK.
Graduates can take further studies to meet the requirements to practise law in other countries around the world. We also offer a global perspective that is particularly attractive to employers specialising in transnational, EU, and international law.
90% of graduates from Newcastle Law School were in employment after 6 months of graduating. They have gone on to secure roles in International Law Firms such as Clifford Chance and Clyde and Co, as well as the Civil Service and banking.
