Bachelor of Arts Law

Tuition fees are 17,578 USD per year.

The Bachelor of Arts in Law at Middlesex University Dubai introduces students to the study of legal systems, principles and reasoning as an academic discipline. Law as a field of study typically covers core subjects such as contract law, tort law, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, and property law, alongside training in legal research, case analysis and the interpretation of statutes and judicial decisions. Students also usually develop skills in legal writing and argumentation, learning to construct and evaluate legal reasoning in a structured way. Many law programs additionally introduce students to areas such as human rights, commercial law or comparative legal systems, giving a broader view of how law operates across different contexts. Delivered in English, the degree builds strong analytical, research and communication skills that are valued well beyond legal practice itself. This particular route, offered as a Bachelor of Arts rather than a qualifying law degree in some jurisdictions, provides a solid academic foundation in legal concepts and reasoning. Graduates with a background in law pursue a wide range of careers, including further legal study leading to qualification as a lawyer, as well as roles in compliance, government, business, consultancy and policy work where an understanding of legal principles is valuable. Many students use a law degree as preparation for postgraduate legal training, while others apply their analytical and research skills directly in sectors such as banking, real estate, human resources or public administration. Studying in Dubai offers students exposure to a jurisdiction that blends elements of civil law, common law and Islamic law, along with a significant number of free zone legal frameworks, providing a relevant backdrop for students interested in how legal systems function in a dynamic commercial centre within the United Arab Emirates.
