Our Bachelor degree in Law degree covers the ‘foundation law subjects’ required by the Bar Standards Board, including tort, contract, criminal, and property law. It also introduces practical skills such as case analysis, negotiation and alternative dispute resolution, drafting, interviewing and mooting.

You'll develop the ability to understand connections between legal topics; this replicates legal and paralegal practice, where problems are rarely neatly packaged. You'll also be supported to develop your professional practice and employability skills throughout the degree.

You'll select from a range of interdisciplinary options including business, criminology and sociology, as well as law options such as corporate law, employment law or entertainment, media and intellectual property law. This will enable you to become a better lawyer due to your experiences outside of a legal education framework. It’ll also provide you with broad employment prospects if you choose not to follow a career in law.

We'll encourage you to undertake a work placement that is relevant to your career goals, and the law clinic in the third year will give you the opportunity to provide legal advice to real clients.

This course opens you up to a range of careers both within and adjacent to Law. You’ll combine legal knowledge with practical skills (such as contract law with negotiation, property law with interviewing and litigation with mooting). If you want to qualify as a solicitor, this will place you in a better position to complete the practice elements of the new SQE, in comparison with those who have studied a more traditional programme. It'll also develop key transferable skills that'll be valuable for other career routes.

Optional Business and Management modules give you the chance to expand your expertise. You'll understand the theory of business law, which will enable you to be a better lawyer due to your experiences, and provide you with better employment prospects if you choose not to follow a career in law.
