Join our diverse, international community of staff and students and be part of a dynamic and engaging environment where you'll gain the professional legal skills and knowledge you need to prepare for a career in Law in the UK or internationally. You'll cover the core foundations of legal knowledge designed to meet professional requirements, and have the scope for optional choices to pursue and develop your interests in Law.
As a graduate entrant, you have the opportunity to obtain a Law degree in just two years when studying full-time (or four years part-time). In addition to the compulsory, foundational modules in Law, you are given the scope to choose an optional module in Law in both years (with this choice limited, particularly in the first year of the programme). You study the detail of the law, as well as its history. You analyse judgments and legal developments while taking into account the political, ethical and social dimensions of the law. This critical approach enhances what is already a fascinating subject.
Our popular mooting programme develops your advocacy skills in a simulated courtroom setting before a bench comprising local judges, practising barristers, solicitors and lecturers. Our Employability Support enables you to make connections, build your network, develop an understanding of the profession and plan for your future.
This degree will help you prepare for a career in law as a solicitor or barrister. All of our undergraduate Law degrees contain the foundations of legal knowledge required by the Bar Standards Board to satisfy the academic component of professional training for intending barristers, and provide a strong foundation for students who wish to take the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE).
