Quick Facts:

• We are the only law school in the UK to teach using problem-based learning (PBL). Under the guidance of expert tutors, you'll work in small student law firms to tackle complex legal scenarios. These legal problems often involve multiple areas of the law overlapping, replicating the nature of real-life legal scenarios. This modern, practical method allows you to develop the practical legal skills that lawyers use every day.

• This degree meets requirements that can enable you to progress to the next stages of professional qualification as a barrister or solicitor in England and Wales. If you want to qualify as a lawyer in another jurisdiction, your degree may be recognised as contributing to the entry requirements of the professional stage of legal training.
