With over 50 years of experience teaching law, Brunel Law School welcomes students from Canada into our vibrant international community on our London campus.
You'll benefit from a unique experience studying law in England, gaining the knowledge and skills you need to pursue a legal career in England, Canada, or elsewhere.
Studying law in England will feel familiar, as both England and Canada are common law jurisdictions. You can choose to pursue either the traditional three‑year LLB degree or, if you have already completed an undergraduate degree in Canada or another country, you can opt for a fast‑track two‑year programme. Either route enables you to obtain a qualifying law degree that can be accredited in Canada.

Support for NCA Accreditation
To practise law in Canada, if you have a law degree from outside Canada, you'll need to earn a Certificate of Qualification from the NCA.
NCA Certificate of Qualification
A number of the modules you'll study on the Brunel LLB programmes are recognised as being so closely aligned between England and Canada that, once you pass them in England with the minimum grade set by the NCA, you won’t need to repeat these exams in Canada as part of the NCA accreditation process. There are several other subjects specific to Canadian law which all law graduates from outside Canada will be required to complete. These requirements are set by the NCA, so if you intend to pursue accreditation, make sure you check the NCA website and policies to stay up-to-date with the latest information.
Studying Law at Brunel puts you in a strong position to work towards NCA accreditation if this is your goal. We liaise closely with the NCA and ensure that you're kept informed about important updates, recent developments, and NCA‑hosted information sessions that guide you through the accreditation process and what to expect.
