Be industry ready

Preparing students for career success is a priority for this Law degree. Modules are designed around the current and future needs of employers and the legal profession; in particular, we have built into your learning an understanding of how changing technology and artificial intelligence are influencing the law. We also place great emphasis on the development of your professional skills; you will have the opportunity to shadow working lawyers and judges, practise your learning during a year’s work placement and develop your client care skills by helping people looking for support from our legal advice schemes. In this way, you learn to put your academic knowledge into practice.

Extracurricular activities, like mooting and trips, are organised by our student-led Law Society, complementing your studies and enhancing your experience throughout. Through initiatives like the SILKS law clinics, you’ll have the chance to offer Family and Housing Law support to people in the region, allowing you to not only practise what you’ve learned but provide help for vulnerable people in the community.

You will:

• Earn a degree accredited by the Bar Standards Board
• Gain an excellent foundation of skills and knowledge for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam, if this is your career ambition
• Develop the professional competency needed for any legal career
• Benefit from opportunities including mini-pupillage and judicial shadowing and gain real, hands-on experience on a work placement
• Help the local community with our legal support schemes

Career focussed, hands-on learning

As the course progresses, you will have the chance to specialise by choosing modules that are relevant to your interests or the direction in which you would like to steer your career. At the end of year 2, you will be able to choose your career pathway, either following the professional route which leads you to the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) or the general route which opens doors to a range of legal careers.
