An MA degree, also known as a Master of Arts, is often awarded after completion of a graduate course of study, typically of a subject in the arts or humanities. It generally takes up to two years to finish, and applicants usually need to have an undergraduate degree.

What is an MA in Legal English? A Master of Arts in Legal English will typically be designed to give students not only advanced skills in the English language in general, but also offer training in the more specialized area of legal English. Legal English is the way the language is used in legal settings, particularly in documents, to ensure that the interests of individuals and organizations are properly protected, and that there is no room for misinterpretation. It may also include courses covering how the language relates to such areas as corporate law, international law, real estate, and intellectual property.

As with other English degrees, this MA can assist students in becoming more effective communicators. It can also help them develop skills in creating legal documents and translating them for others, abilities that all types of businesses can find useful.

There can be a great deal of variation between the costs of one MA program and another. It is important to ensure that all fees are considered as well when comparing the prices of these degrees.

Someone with a degree in legal English may be eligible for some of the same positions that a degree holder in any type of English would be considered for, such as journalist, copywriter, editor, publicist, or teacher. However, with the additional specialization in the legal area, he or she may have a better chance of being employed with corporate legal departments, law firms, government departments, non-profit organizations, banks, and consulting firms as paralegal, contract writer, civil court clerk, and proposal writer.

It is possible to study legal English in educational institutions all over the world. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
