Law (Hons) Teesside University

Overview

A Law (Hons) degree from Teesside University is a highly regarded qualification. You are trained to think, to question and to challenge. Many students study law to become a legal professional such as legal executive, solicitor or barrister, but a Teesside law degree opens up a wide range of professional roles for you, including within the criminal justice field, probation services, law enforcement and in the charitable and voluntary sectors. You could also be successful in management, recruitment or human resources. Whether you’re starting a career, developing an existing one or changing direction, a law degree presents many opportunities to you.

The law can, and does, change on a daily basis – that's what makes it such a fascinating and vibrant subject to study. As a graduate you’ll be a creative problem solver and an effective researcher, with the ability to interpret, analyse and critique complex information. You’ll have highly developed written and oral communication skills and be able to formulate reasoned arguments and challenge decisions. You gain a valuable suite of skills and attributes, and develop the confidence, adaptability and resilience to succeed in your chosen career.

Career opportunities

Whilst many of the graduates do choose to continue their studies through a range of professional courses or opportunities for further academic research, others have successfully secured employment in such varied fields as teaching, management, human resources, the media, retail and a number of criminal justice agencies, as well as related organisations and pressure groups.
