Study Law at Hull

We welcome Canadian applicants to study Law at Hull, including our 3-year LLB Law and 2-year graduate entry LLB Law (Senior Status) courses. Studying Law in the UK exposes Canadian students to Common Law, which is shared between the UK and Canada.

Since 1927, our Law School has been a foundational part of the University, offering a rich tradition of legal education. Here at Hull, you don’t just study Law – you get hands-on experience too. You’ll get the chance to provide legal advice to real clients at our Legal Advice Centre and our recently enhanced Mediation Centre. You can even take part in internships with local law firms and government, work with professional family mediators on real cases, and mini pupillages with the Wilberforce Chambers in Hull.

Law graduates can apply to practice in Canada by completing the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA) process, which assesses the equivalency of Law degrees outside of Canada.
