This programme is aimed at students who wish to obtain a qualifying law degree, whether for entry into the legal profession or for other purposes.

The programme provides a sound academic education in law. It combines the acquisition of knowledge of substantive law with the development of skills of reasoning, analysis and synthesis. Wherever possible, it seeks to place law in the wider context of social, political, moral and economic issues. It is forward looking, particularly with respect to Europe and technological change, and equips students with both legal and transferable skills.

Options in the final year enable students to explore specialist legal areas in more depth, so they are able to take up a career in law or other professions.

Aims of the programme
* To provide students with a thorough knowledge of the substantive principles of law in both core courses and those studied as options
* To teach the necessary skills to identify and explain relevant legal principles, so that students can apply these to given factual situations and see the relationship between various aspects of the law
* To help students to develop good communication skills in a variety of media

Career options
Graduates can pursue a legal career. The degree also provides sound training for management careers outside law, in areas such as commerce, administration or teaching.

Specialist equipment/facilities
Access to legal databases such as LexisNexis, Westlaw, Lawtel and IOLIS (interactive software for teaching law).
