University of East Anglia UEA

Our Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies is an intensive one-year course for non-law graduates. Housed in our historic Earlham Hall, UEA Law School provides you with an engaging, and student-focused learning environment, where our dedicated lecturers bring expertise in various legal fields, ensuring a rich and diverse educational experience. You will be welcomed into a collegiate community and will be part of a vibrant student body with an active law society. During the year, you will study the foundation subjects and complete a research project. You will receive guidance and constructive feedback to help you to improve your work and develop important skills, such as research, writing, and constructing reasoned arguments. You will also have many opportunities to build your practical skills, confidence, and professional CV through the School’s unique employability programme and extra-curricular activities such as mooting (''mock trials''), negotiation, client interviewing, and mediation. Through this degree, you will acquire the skills and confidence you need to excel within or beyond the legal profession. Our careers events with law firms, barrister chambers, and alumni create great opportunities to network and discover your many options after graduation. You can also make a difference in the local community by volunteering with our award-winning UEA Law Clinic.
