Ranked 1st in London for student satisfaction (Complete University Guide 2022), the Roehampton Law School offers a practice-based approach to learning and a strong foundation for your future career.

Studying for our Law with Politics degree will give you a wide range of transferable skills, setting you up for success in any profession. You’ll learn how to:

• Construct a winning argument
• Reason critically
• Think on your feet
• Write with precision and clarity.

Politics is a central element of human society, where our most pressing issues and concerns are addressed. Through political processes, institutions and ideas, complex, diverse modern cultures identify, share and contest values and make decisions about rules to live by and about how goods will be distributed nationally and internationally.

Alongside your legal training, you’ll gain a sound grounding in the academic tradition of politics.

You can put these skills into practice with an optional professional placement between Years 2 and 3 of your course. Fully supported by our Placement Office, this is a chance to gain paid work experience and make valuable industry connections.
