Law (Hons) Coventry University

Overview

The Law (Hons) course from Coventry University examines the law’s role in a range of contemporary issues, recognising the need to maintain social responsibility and ethical behaviour.

Quick Facts:

• Coventry Law School collaborates with the Central England Law Centre in order to offer a professional element to your learning, through our Law Employment and Advocacy clinics. Students who are selected to participate in the clinics get involved with many aspects of what the solicitors do at the Law Centre, with supervisors who are currently working in practice and experts in specific areas of law. 
• They get hands-on experience doing reserved legal activities, providing supervised advice and assistance to members of the public.
• Law graduates can pursue a wide variety of careers both in the UK and overseas. Many graduates enter the legal profession as solicitors, barristers, paralegals or legal executives (additional education/courses and training required). However, the skills learned are also transferrable to career paths outside of law such as recruitment, management, teaching or finance. Many of our law graduates also go on to pursue a career in academia or undertake further academic study.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Critically analyse theories, principles and laws across diverse substantive legal areas, appreciating the social, political and global context in which law operates.
• Appreciate and apply principles of sustainability, social responsibility and professional ethics, whilst being cognisant of diverse cultural and global perspectives.
• Identify and synthesise relevant information from primary and secondary legal sources, using both digital and non-digital resources, whilst adhering to principles of academic integrity.
