Law (Senior Status) (Hons) University of Hull

Overview

This two-year fast track programme is designed for people who already have a degree in another subject, and lawyers from outside the UK who'd like to broaden their education.

The  Law (Senior Status) (Hons) programme at University of Hull  is not a typical law school. We offer a personal experience where every student counts. We take the time to get to know you, develop your abilities, help you challenge current thinking and grow confidence.

We provide you with much more than a degree. We’re all about preparation for your career.

Practice legal skills in mock trials and Law Society mooting and client interviewing competitions. Build your experience through mini-pupillages with Wilberforce Chambers and on internships with local law firms and government. And work on real cases – from family mediation to employment tribunals – in our Legal Advice Centre and Mediation Centre.

You can rub shoulders with leading law firms at our yearly careers convention. We’re also partnered with the University of Law which runs a series of bespoke courses to help prepare students for both the SQE exam and other professional qualifications.

Future prospects

• We’ve been teaching Law at Hull since the University was founded in 1927. Our Law graduates form a wide network around the world.
