As a law student, you will learn how to write and speak confidently, concisely and precisely. You will understand the need to pay close attention to detail and to check and research all facts. You will learn how to develop critical analysis and problem-solving abilities, together with team-building, negotiation, advocacy and professional skills. Careers The international reputation of the School of Law is high among employers because of the emphasis placed on the development of academic, personal and professional skills. The study of law is suitable not only for those wishing to undertake professional training to become solicitors and barristers, but also for those who want to establish careers in commerce and industry, the media, journalism and politics.
“The knowledge and expertise of world-leading academics at the cutting edge of their fields meant that you came out of classes inspired and with an understanding of the law you could not get from anywhere else.” Thomas Webber LLB Law graduate, 2008
