Course Overview

You can broaden your perspective with a year studying overseas or make a difference by giving free legal advice to real clients through our Pro-Bono group. We will also encourage you to build practical skills through our award-winning extracurricular activities.

By studying politics and law, you can place the implementation of public policy in its legal context. You will develop an understanding of the power of individuals and theories of the state and the laws created through the political process. In addition, you will see how political structures influence the rules you apply to real problems and the theory underpinning social responsibilities and relationships protected by law. As such, this degree will be of particular interest to those wishing to gain knowledge of the relationship between politics, law, and society. You have access to various legal, political, socio-legal, and ethical modules in your final year.

This law degree equips you with the academic skills required for a career as a solicitor or barrister. It makes you a highly desirable graduate in many other professions.
