Law is a subject which can be applied to virtually every aspect of our lives. From the receipt in your pocket to how you’re treated in the workplace, and so much in between. It’s also never been more topical. Whether that’s local, national, or international concerns. Think political protests and human rights. Or sustainable agriculture, trade and transport. Or regulating AI and social media. Think money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Or the ethics of end-of-life choices. And what about fractured families, access to housing, or dealing with debt?


Our Law (LLB) programme has been designed to develop your knowledge and understanding of how the legal system is located within a changing social, economic, and political context and how the law is shaped by that context. 


In addition to the academic skills you’ll develop, and the knowledge you’ll build through our diverse modules, we offer a range of opportunities for professional development and putting your skills into practice. Our pro bono schemes work in partnership with lawyers, charities, and voluntary organisations, helping members of the community with legal matters, completely free of charge. Through these schemes, and working on real cases, you’ll develop skills in client care, legal research, writing and public speaking, and communication in all forms.


We also offer other placement and work experience opportunities. Past students have undertaken paralegal placements with a range of solicitors, developing key practitioner skills such as case management and legal writing, alongside general workplace and employability skills.


With a view on your progression in law, our programme offers the core subjects required by the Bar Standards Board for future barristers and which are also foundational for practice as a solicitor. You’ll gain the knowledge and skills you need, while optional modules will allow you to develop specialist interests or explore diverse legal topics. 


Our commitment to supporting your professional development and aspirations also includes tailored careers support within the school. You’ll have access to advice and guidance which will help inform you about your options and make decisions for your future – whether that’s within the legal field or not. Your skills, experiences and knowledge will be valuable to a range of different careers.


Beyond law, our graduates can be found in finance, sales and marketing, digital communications, the media, recruitment, and many other sectors.
