Careers

The Combined Honours law degree teaches a range of subject knowledge, intelligences and skills. In this way we aim to produce graduates who can demonstrate an adaptable approach to problem solving, an ability to work in a diverse range of situations and subject areas and who have a real concern and regard for their client groups and service users. We believe that it is these graduates who will have a real advantage in the workplace and are likely to be well regarded by prospective employers. We also know that we produce students who are confident and capable.

By studying law as part of a combined degree, you will have a spectrum of opportunity for employment before you either in the public or private sector, or it will enable you to proceed further with your studies at postgraduate level. Graduates who can demonstrate an adaptable approach to problem solving and an ability to work in a diverse range of situations and subject areas have a real advantage in the workplace and are likely to be well regarded by prospective employers.

This degree will also enable you to continue on to qualification courses for those wishing to qualify as solicitors or barristers. Many of our recent graduates have gone on to careers in the legal profession
