The best preparation for the legal profession is to think like a lawyer from day one. Our practice-based learning approach focuses on understanding the law in the context of everyday life and legal practice, and applying your learning using a number of approaches, including problem-based learning.
This law degree has been designed by experienced academics and practitioners, with input from our internationally-renowned Crucible Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice. It is designed specifically to focus on your career development. Throughout your degree, you will work with practitioners from the legal sector. You will gain the practical experience of putting law into action through our pro bono activities with the Citizens Advice Bureau and have the opportunity to obtain work placements.
You will be encouraged to engage from the start of the course with legal issues and reflect on what you learn as an integral part of your academic experience. A high proportion of your time will be spent working face to face with tutors, developing your understanding of legal issues and particularly the core skills and competencies that legal practitioners are expected to have.
You will develop an understanding of the different areas of law making and legal practice by visiting the historic courts of central London. This year students have observed cases in the Supreme Court, visited other courts and tribunals as part of the Law in Practice module and are visiting the Houses of Parliament.
Modules currently available include 'Legal Systems, Ethics, and Skills', which covers the structure and function of the English legal system, 'Public Law and Human Rights' which explores civil liberties and human rights in the context of Human Rights, and our Law in Practice modules in Year 1, focusing on legal communication' and in Year 2 on business and commercial awareness.
