Law (Hons)

Overview

The Law (Hons)  programme from  University of Wolverhampton   provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the English legal system. It covers the different legal institutions and procedures operating in England, Wales and the European Union and explores how these systems fit together.

Throughout the course, students will develop the ability to apply their learned knowledge to legal problems. They will be asked to provide solutions to an array of legal issues spanning different areas of the law.

At levels 5 and 6 you will have the opportunity to select optional modules alongside the mandatory subjects. These modules are designed to allow students to specialise in a particular area and prepare for future employment. The course aims to ensure students will be able to work independently to plan and manage tasks, proficiently use IT systems and technology-supported learning.

In addition to this, mooting and legal skills competitions will take place to allow students to experience what it is like to be a lawyer. There will also be regular visits to The Inns of Court and Houses of Parliament, as well as the Wolverhampton Legal Companion scheme.
