This is a Connected Degree

Portsmouth is the only University in the UK with the flexibility to choose when to do an optional paid placement or self-employed year. Either take a placement in your third year, or finish your studies first and complete a placement in your fourth year. You can decide if and when to take a placement after you've started your course.


Overview

Develop the skills and knowledge of a law degree alongside a broad understanding of business. Explore how law relates to industry, and how industry operates within the law. This course is ideal if you're considering a career in corporate law, one of the most highly paid sectors of law (Prospects 2021), and will equip you with the leadership skills you need to succeed as a business professional. You’ll learn core aspects of the legal framework that impacts business and organisations, such as corporate commercial law and contract law, and use facilities including our replica courtroom to practise your skills in a realistic environment. You’ll apply your learning in practical settings throughout the course — with initiatives such as our Community Lawyer module where you’ll have the opportunity to put your learning into practice with live client work. If you choose to take an optional paid placement year before or after your third year, you’ll graduate with a year’s experience in industry too.


Course highlights

- Complement your law studies with a strong foundation in key business areas such as managing people in organisations, and business strategy- Apply your learning in community settings, gaining real-world business and legal practice skills- Choose the Law in Practice module to gain 3 months of work experience that can count towards your qualifying work experience for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE)- Be fully prepared for your SQE through our partnership with Barbri, the world’s largest legal exam preparation experts- Complete a paid placement year before your after your final year of study


New Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE)

The route to qualifying as a solicitor has changed for new applicants.If you accept an offer on this course after 21 September 2021 you'll need to take the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) after you graduate to qualify as a solicitor. The content and mode of assessment of many of our modules provide a good foundation for further specific SQE preparation.If you completed or started this course, accepted an offer of a place, or paid a non-refundable deposit (international students only) before 21 September 2021 (inclusive) you can choose to take either the new SQE or the Legal Practice Course (LPC) after graduation.
