Subject

Law

Take your first step towards a career in law. Practise offering real legal advice in our Law Clinic and courtroom. Gain exemptions from the academic stage of training to become a solicitor or barrister on this Qualifying Law Degree.

Unlock the civil and criminal justice institutions and systems. Our law degree gives you a comprehensive overview of the key legal principles you’ll need to work in the legal profession.

Using media commentary and theory, you’ll be able to form opinions on legal developments including new case law and legislation. Join the student Law Society and you’ll be able to take part in competitions and attend networking events both on and off campus to meet with future peers.

Our Pro-Bono Law Clinic gives you a chance to put your knowledge into practice. Supervised by qualified members of lecturing staff and local legal practitioners, you’ll deliver legal advice to the community.

If that’s not enough hands-on experience for you, there will also be opportunities to go on educational visits to important legal institutions. Past and present law students have visited courts including the Old Bailey, the Supreme Court and Parliament in London, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the European Parliament and European Commission in Brussels.

And our on-campus courtroom is the perfect place to flex your problem-solving skills and develop your legal analysis and mooting skills as you prepare for, and act out, legal scenarios in a true-to-life courtroom setting.

Assessment methods

Assessment is designed to ensure that you acquire a wide range of skills, particularly those required by future employers. You will write case reports and essays, critically analyse legal documents, give oral presentations, defend and advise clients and take exams. Exams usually account for more than half of the marks for any module though a small number of modules are assessed by coursework only. You will always be given feedback on all your work so that you will learn from the experience.

Law graduates tend to go into the legal industry, and they usually take similar routes. Jobs are competitive — often very competitive - but starting salaries are good and high fliers can earn serious money - starting on over £24k in London on average. Be aware though - some careers, especially as barristers, can take a while to get into, and the industry is changing as the Internet, automation and economic change all have an effect, If you want to qualify to practise law, you need to take a professional qualification — many law graduates then go on to law school. If you want to go into work, then a lot of law graduates take trainee or paralegal roles and some do leave the law altogether, often for jobs in management, finance and the police force. A small proportion of law graduates also move into another field for further study. Management, accountancy and teaching are all popular for these career changers, so if you do take a law degree and decide it’s not for you, there are options.

What about your long term prospects?

Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
