Programme specification:

This two-year course is designed for those who already have an undergraduate degree in a non-law subject who wish to convert to a career in law.

The course provides students with the opportunity to learn about the law, both in the traditional sense of ‘thinking like a lawyer’ and in the broader sense of law as a social institution.

This degree enables students to progress to the vocational stage of legal education should they wish to qualify as a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales. It is also recognised in a number of other jurisdictions.

Students will cover the seven foundations of legal knowledge and develop their legal research skills. A wide range of optional modules will also enable them to follow their interests in specialist legal areas such as company or employment law, human rights law, environmental law and family law. Students could also explore topics in criminal justice and criminology, such as policing or youth crime.
