Law

Law at King's College London is an education in one of the world's most sophisticated legal systems delivered from the heart of legal London, surrounded by the Inns of Court, the Royal Courts of Justice, and the offices of major domestic and international law firms. Law is the framework of rules, principles, and institutions through which societies regulate behaviour, resolve disputes, and define rights and obligations. Studying it at King's means engaging with that framework at a high level of intellectual seriousness, with access to world-class academic expertise and the extraordinary professional resources of London.

This three-year, full-time LLB is a well-established and internationally recognised qualifying law degree. You will study the core foundations of English law, including contract, tort, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, and equity, alongside a wide range of optional subjects that allow you to develop specialist interests in areas such as international law, commercial law, human rights, and European law. A year abroad is available, giving you the opportunity to study law in another jurisdiction and broaden your legal perspective beyond the English system.

The typical entry tariff of 200 points reflects the highly competitive nature of admissions to one of the UK's most prestigious law schools.

King's law graduates enter a wide range of careers. Many go on to professional legal training as solicitors or barristers, and the law school's location and reputation give graduates access to training contracts and pupillages at leading firms and chambers. Others enter the civil service, financial services, international organisations, journalism, academia, and a wide range of roles where legal training is an asset.

The analytical, research, and communication skills that a King's law degree develops are valued across the full spectrum of demanding professional careers. Many graduates also pursue postgraduate study in specialist areas of law or related disciplines.
