Your course
Our Law and Practice degree focuses on developing your real-world skills as well as developing your advocacy, legal drafting and legal practice skills. You’ll build a solid foundation for you to become a competent and knowledgeable practitioner of law. This degree provides an intensive pathway in your third year with all modules designed to allow you to work towards taking the new Solicitor’s Qualifying Exams (SQE1), following the completion of your law degree. As well as gaining an understanding of the law itself, studying a law degree will teach you a wide range of essential skills such as how to construct an argument, how to communicate with clients, the importance of attention to detail, and the ability to work in a team as well as on your own initiative. You’ll gain a firm understanding of legal principles and core legal concepts. You’ll be able to start focusing on the topics that interest you in your second year and will spend the whole of your final year studying legal practice skills-based modules. You may decide to take up the opportunity to be part of our Legal Advice Clinic, where you’ll work closely with practising solicitors and help them with real cases.*

“I would absolutely recommend the University to a potential student. Providing that you throw yourself into the experience and put the work in, the opportunities on offer both during university and afterwards are expansive. I also found the environment to be a very friendly and welcoming one, with lecturers who are keen for their students to succeed and will go the extra mile to facilitate that.”
