Our law qualifications don't just put you on the pathway to becoming a successful solicitor or barrister.
Graduates from our undergraduate degrees can progress directly to the Legal Practice Course (LPC) - the vocational stage of becoming a solicitor, or take the barristers' Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC). It's also an excellent qualification for a range of careers, including paralegal and legal executive work, education, business, management and HR.
Our courses offer fantastic employability opportunities - 2013-14 statistics indicate that 89% of our students are in employment or further study 6 months after graduating.

The lecturers are always supportive and the tutor system is very effective. We have been able to shape our degree in the way we want, learning the subjects that interest us. I would highly recommend the course and believe it has set me up very well for the future.
My lecturers are considerate, approachable and really professional, they encourage me to always aim higher. It is a very vibrant learning environment with networking events, competitions and a thriving Legal Advice Clinic. I find it an exciting and stimulating place to read law.
They include real-life scenarios and high-profile cases. We also get to practice our skills in the University's mock courtrooms.
