This degree programme attracts students from the UK, Ireland and North America creating a cosmopolitan learning environment.

In recent years our graduates have gone on to legal careers in Canada, the UK and Ireland. Queen’s is a popular destination for Canadians wishing to obtain a law degree from the UK. Some Canadians choose to remain in the UK and Ireland, whilst the majority choose to return home to practice. Students beginning their Law studies with Queen’s in academic year 2024-25 will benefit from the introduction of a new Canadian Constitutional Law course onto the curriculum. The introduction of the course will support Canadian students intending to qualify in Canada to prepare for the NCA challenge exams. The course will be optional for all students to ensure that maximum choice and preference in course specialisations remains core to the Queen’s offering. This is part of Queen’s University package of support for Canadians and other international students wishing to return home to practice. Additional supports include mentoring from alumni who are practising law and talks and presentations from the NCA on qualifying in Canada.
