Course Overview

Law is for everyone. You don’t need to have studied law before; whatever your background, your contribution will be valuable.

A law degree is a highly regarded qualification. You are trained to think, to question and to challenge. Many students study law to become legal professionals, such as legal executives, solicitors or barristers. Still, a Teesside law degree opens up a wide range of professional roles for you, including within the criminal justice field, probation services, law enforcement, and the charitable and voluntary sectors. You could also be successful in management, recruitment or human resources. Whether starting a career, developing an existing one or changing direction, a law degree presents many opportunities.

The law can and does change daily, making it such a fascinating and vibrant subject to study. As a graduate, you’ll be a creative problem solver and an influential researcher who can interpret, analyse and critique complex information. You’ll have highly developed written and oral communication skills and be able to formulate reasoned arguments and challenge decisions. You gain valuable skills and attributes, confidence, adaptability and resilience to succeed in your chosen career.

Studying law at Teesside isn’t just about attending traditional lectures and sitting exams. We recognise that students learn in different ways, and our innovative teaching and learning approaches and diverse assessment methods prepare you for the 21st-century workplace.

You can spend time in our replica courtroom, which features a modern court and offers invaluable courtroom experience in first-class facilities.
