ObjectivesAll of our degree programmes focus on the study of law as an intellectual discipline. They also can form the first major step towards qualifying for practice as a solicitor or barrister, and represent appropriate preliminary training for a range of other careers in which legal knowledge is an asset. They are suitable for the student who has a general interest in law but wants to find out more about it before deciding on a particular vocation. The first year of all law programmes is composed of compulsory subjects (Elements of the Law of Contract, Criminal Law, Public Law, European Law). The second year consists of four modules from a list of options. Students spending their third year abroad must also study French or German Law. Apart from those studying English & French Law, and English & American Law, final year students study Jurisprudence & Legal Theory and three modules from the list of options. Anyone contemplating a career in legal practice in the United Kingdom must include in their list of options Law of Tort, Law of Property and Law of Trusts in order to gain a 'qualifying law degree'.
