Law and Legal Practice The University of Wales Trinity Saint David

Overview

Course overview

The Law and Legal Practice program at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David has been designed to cover the fundamentals of law and the linked areas of legal practice required to enter the legal profession. You will gain a systematic understanding of key aspects of law and legal practice, including coherent and detailed knowledge, some at, or informed by, the forefront of the discipline.

You will learn to source, evaluate and comment upon research, or equivalent scholarship, in law and legal practice, with an appreciation of the uncertainty, ambiguity and limits of knowledge, and show conceptual and critical thinking, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of assumptions, abstract concepts and data.

Career opportunities

This new programme will prepare students to sit the Solicitor’s Qualifying Exams and has been designed around this national framework. It is entirely focused on employment or self-employment within legal practice. This can only enhance the student’s prospects and make them more competitive within the legal profession’s recruitment programmes. 

There has already been a high level of engagement with professional organisations for the existing law programmes and this engagement continues throughout the year. Local law firms such as Peter Lynn and Partners, Graham Evans and Partners, JCP and DJM have been consulted and work with the team to create the opportunity of placements and internships for the students, with a number of graduates continuing into employment.
