    MSc Programs in Law and Regulation

    What is regulatory law?
     
    Regulatory law is used to describe the actions undertaken by private or governmental regulatory bodies, which are groups or organizations that enforce laws related to regulation, or control. These include offices like the Federal Reserve System in the United States or Ofsted in the UK.  Regulatory law usually relates to a regulatory body's power to enforce laws that control or limit actions within a sector of the economy or social services. Regulatory law is important for students at any university level because regulatory bodies determine what actions can be taken when regulatory law has been broken.
     
    How to get a degree in regulatory law? 
     
    In the US getting a regulatory law degree usually requires students to attend university and complete an undergraduate degree that prepares them to study law at the graduate level. Students can then pursue a graduate law degree with a concentration in regulatory law. Students looking to further their education in regulatory law can also pursue Bachelor of Laws or Juris Doctor programs that are available at certain universities.  Regulatory law degrees require students to complete several regulatory law courses, which may include regulatory law ethics and regulatory law policy.
     
    Which jobs people can get with a degree in regulatory law?
     
    Students who complete regulatory law degrees can apply for positions within regulatory bodies at the federal, state, or local level. Regulatory lawyers work on cases related to regulatory law and often represent regulatory bodies in front of courts, ensuring regulatory law policies are upheld by the judiciary. Regulatory lawyers usually need to have completed both their undergraduate degree and postgraduate regulatory law degree.
