Law (Hons) University of Hull

Overview

Here, you’re a professional-in-the-making from day one, learning as a valued member of a tight-knit legal community.

Research, engage with and question the law in its social, moral and political contexts. Be taught by experts whose research influences policy, regulatory change and public debate. And study modules in legal specialities such as criminal justice, international law, commercial law and family law. You could also study abroad at one of our highly ranked partner institutions.

With our Law (Hons) course offered by University of Hull , we provide you with much more than a degree. We’re all  about preparation for your career.

Practice legal skills in mock trials, Law Society mooting and client interviewing competitions. Build experience with mini-pupillages at Wilberforce Chambers and internships with local law firms and government. Work alongside legal professionals – on cases ranging from family mediation to employment tribunals – in our Legal Advice Centre and Mediation Centre. And learn from practising professionals on our Real-World Law module which is developed in partnership with leading local law firms.

You can rub shoulders with leading law firms at our yearly careers convention too. And you’re guaranteed a place at University of Law, which prepares students for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE).
