Career

While many law graduates enter the legal profession, many more choose alternative careers â€“ in business, media, education, advocacy and the NGO sector, international organisations, and the civil service. A law degree aims fundamentally to develop critical thinking and analytical skills â€“ hence the adaptability of law graduates across and within these and other domains. The Bachelor of Arts: Joint Honours (Law) programme allows the student to combine legal study with another discipline, thereby keeping more career options open at the completion of the degree programme. (For those interested in becoming a barrister, please see our BCL degree which is accredited by the King's Inns.
