This course allows you to gain an in-depth understanding of the contemporary legal and political issues that shape our lives and society. Alongside learning the law, you will examine fundamental issues relating to power, justice, decision-making and social change. As well as developing your intellectual and legal skills, our strong focus on employability ensures exciting practical opportunities for ‘real world’ experiences to set you up for your chosen career, whether that’s being a lawyer, journalist, civil servant or the multiple other areas where this degree is highly valued.The course is designed to foster your intellectual independence. You’ll be supported to develop the confidence and skills needed to think critically, to ask and answer cogent questions about law and its role in society, and to effectively communicate your reasoned arguments, orally or in writing.You will acquire new knowledge and understanding of the principles and values of law and justice, and you’ll learn how law can be used to benefit individuals and societies, including the most marginalised in our community.During the course you will study the fundamental areas of legal knowledge. For example, Public Law where you’ll learn about how the country is organised and run; Criminal Law which includes examining punishment and the rehabilitation of individuals who break the law, and Contract Law where you’ll learn about how legal agreements are made and operate between people and companies. Additionally, you will be able to study modules such as Fundamentalism, God & Government and Political Philosophy.You’ll also have the opportunity to choose from exciting law optional modules such as International Law, Commercial Law, Human Rights, Sports Law, Roman Law & Legal History, Philosophy of Law and Family Law.

You’ll also benefit from professional development activities, trips to government and judicial institutions, and from a wide range of guest speakers.Throughout your studies you’ll acquire the academic knowledge and be introduced to the skills required to pursue a legal career should you wish to go on to qualify as a solicitor or barrister.‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course.
