Queen's University Belfast offering qualifying law degrees recognised in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Queen's University Belfast is a university in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The university's official title, per its charter, is The Queen's University of Belfast. It is often referred to simply as "Queen's", or by the abbreviation "QUB". The university was chartered in 1845, and opened in 1849 as "Queen's College, Belfast", but has roots going back to 1810 and the Belfast Academical Institution.

Queen's is a member of the Russell Group of the UK's 20 leading research intensive universities, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the European University Association, Universities Ireland and Universities UK. The university offers academic degrees at various levels and across a broad subject range, with over 300 degree programmes available. The university's current President and Vice-Chancellor is Professor Peter Gregson, and its Chancellor is the former United States Senator, George Mitchell.

The University also forms the focal point of the Queen's Quarter area of the city, one of Belfast's four cultural districts.

School of Law

Quote:
Law has been studied and taught at Queens since 1845. The years since have seen many changes and challenges for lawyers in Belfast. Legal and political developments have drawn a great deal of interest to law throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as to the distinctive aspects of the Northern Irish legal system. In more recent years the impact of globalisation has led Queens, in common with law schools throughout Europe, to a growing interest in European, international and comparative law.

The School of Law received an impressive top-ten ranking in RAE 2008, finishing 7th in the UK, with a weighted average score of 2.80. The results show that 95% of research in the School is of international quality and above (4*, 3* and 2*), with 60% of research rated as world-leading or internationally excellent (3* and 4*).

Those of you interested in studying law at QUB will find in these pages information on the wide range of courses we offer. At undergraduate level this includes courses in law with languages, and law with politics, as well as the LLB degree. At postgraduate level specialised courses on criminology and human rights are available. The School is developing joint programmes with other universities in Ireland and the US. Many of our graduates have gone on to prominent careers in the legal profession in Northern Ireland and elsewhere.
