What you will study
You’ll gain a strong understanding of the main areas of legal knowledge, including law as it:
- Regulates the functions of the state (public law and criminal law)
- Regulates relations between private individuals (contract law and tort law),
- regulates the ownership and control of land and other property (land law, and equity and trusts).
After your first year, you will immerse yourself in deeper questions about the operation and design of our legal system and the principles of legal change and reform. You will take optional modules on the philosophical, social and political dimensions of law, focusing on cutting-edge legal problems and developing your knowledge of the relation between law and society, and the values and political structures our legal system is based on.
You will learn how to evaluate the law, analyse its application to given situations and apply your legal understanding in a national or international context.
All second-year law students are enrolled on a Professional Training Preparation module which enables you to develop key employability skills, complete a law-specific version of the University's Employability Award and hear from a wide variety of voices from practice (both legal and non-legal).
We also provide a series of employability training seminars, digital lawyering, pro bono opportunities, and extracurricular activities focusing on client interviewing, negotiation and mooting.

These questions include how to regulate technology, how to use law to combat environmental problems, reforming diverse areas of law, improving business practice, and working within international legal frameworks.
We embed a philosophical, political and social perspective on law within a wide range of modules taught in the School, which will engage and challenge you from day one. Find out more about the lecturers you will work with.
Drawing on the expertise of the Surrey Centre for Law and Philosophy, law students on the Philosophy, Politics and Law (PPL) Pathway will be taught by world-leading experts in this field. The Centre is one of the largest research centres in the world working on core philosophical issues surrounding the law and legal systems.
It is an internationally recognised hub for dynamic and innovative research and teaching. As a PPL pathway student, you’ll be eligible to become an Undergraduate Fellow of the Surrey Centre for Law and Philosophy (which looks good on the CV!) and attend most of our events which we host regularly throughout the year.
