Law

OVERVIEW

Law underpins our society. A law degree gives you a unique insight into everything, from the economy to the criminal justice system and it gives you a huge range of skills that will last you throughout your career.

We cover all the subjects you need to know; tort, contract, criminal law, constitutional law and property law – you’ll get a thorough grounding in the essentials. Thanks to our teaching team’s wide range of specialisms, from families to sports, we offer exciting option modules beyond the core curriculum.

During your final year, you’ll complete a major project. This could be anything from a dissertation to work in the community.
