Law LLB

Course overview

Studying law trains you to read closely, reason carefully and argue persuasively, skills valued far beyond the legal profession. Teaching combines legal knowledge with practical skills such as legal writing, problem-solving and advocacy.

Over the course you will move from core principles to specialist topics, finishing with an independent project on a question that matters to you.
