The Law BA(Hons) field has been designed for those students who are interested in studying law but who do not necessarily intend to pursue a career in the legal profession. It has a broader focus than our LLB courses and is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills suitable for a range of different careers, such as in business, politics, and the police to name but a few.
Students who achieve lower second class marks or above, in all of their level four assessments will be eligible to request transfer to the second year of the LLB, if they wish to do so.
What will you study?
You will learn about the role of law in society, the English legal system, and how law structures the state. You will also study core areas of criminal law, contract law and tort law (ie civil wrongs and trespass).
Students will also have a dedicated module in their first and second year of study which focuses on specific careers both related, and non related to the legal profession, for which the degree forms a good basis. Students will learn practical skills which relate to these career paths and learn about relevant recruitment processes and techniques.
A wide range of option modules enables you to study skills such as mediation and topics such as immigration law, medical law or employment law. In addition, you will have the option to undertake a year-long work placement, meaning you graduate in four years instead of three.
