About this course
Our extensive Westminster connections, together with wider UK and international expertise, ensure you’ll be at the heart of contemporary political debate.
You’ll be taught by experts whose research influences policy, regulatory change and public debate. You'll get to grips with the concept of law, legal phenomena and legal systems, and examine political theory and key advances in human security and welfare. You could also study abroad at one of our highly ranked partner institutions.
We provide you with much more than a degree. We’re all about preparation for your career. Learn the legal ropes in our mock courtrooms. And work alongside professionals on real cases – such as employment tribunals in our Legal Advice Centre
Build your legal experience on internships with local law firms and government – and mini-pupillages with Wilberforce Chambers. Practise legal skills in our Law Society’s mooting and client interviewing competitions. And rub shoulders with leading law firms at our yearly careers convention.
You’re also guaranteed a place at University of Law, which prepares students for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE).
Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time is divided across the year varies and depends on the module you are studying.
How you'll be assessed depends on the course you study, and the modules you choose. You may be assessed through a mix of examinations, coursework, presentations and group projects.
