Course summary

This course gives you the knowledge, skills, and experience to pursue your passion for the law, while enabling you to explore issues relating to the criminal justice system such as policing, sentencing and offending. Our dedicated team of lawyers and criminologists will provide you with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the contemporary legal issues that shape our lives and society. As well as developing your legal skills, our strong links with the legal profession and industry ensure opportunities for ‘real world’ experiences to set you up for your chosen career.The course is designed to foster your intellectual independence. You’ll be supported to develop the confidence and skills needed to think critically, to ask and answer cogent questions about law and its role in society, and to effectively communicate your reasoned arguments, orally or in writing.You will acquire new knowledge and understanding of the principles and values of law and justice, and you’ll learn how law can be used to benefit individuals and societies, including the most marginalised in our community.During the course you will study the fundamental areas of legal knowledge. For example, Public Law where you’ll learn about how the country is organised and run; Criminal Law which includes examining punishment and the rehabilitation of individuals who break the law, and Contract Law where you’ll learn about how legal agreements are made and operate between people and companies.

It’s not all about sitting and reading. You'll learn the skills of debating, advocating and negotiating through a range of module and extra-curricular opportunities. You’ll also benefit from professional development activities, trips to government and judicial institutions, and from a wide range of guest speakers.Throughout your studies you’ll acquire the academic knowledge and be introduced to the skills required to pursue a legal career should you wish to go on to qualify as a solicitor or barrister. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course.
