This degree covers tort, contract, criminal, and property law. It also introduces practical skills such as case analysis, negotiation and alternative dispute resolution, drafting, interviewing and mooting.

You'll develop the ability to understand connections between legal topics; this replicates legal and paralegal practice, where problems are rarely neatly packaged. You'll also be supported to develop your professional practice and employability skills throughout the degree.

You'll select from a range of interdisciplinary optional modules including criminology, sociology and business, as well as law options such as cyberlaw, punishment and penology and international law. This will enhance your experiences and provide you with better employment prospects.

We'll encourage you to undertake a work placement in a relevant field. This could include opportunities working with organisations such as the police, government, law firms or councils.

Work placements, industry links and internships

You'll be supported and encouraged to complete a short work placement during the second year, or you could take a ten-month placement between the second and third year by selecting the Professional Placement version of the course.

This course opens you up to a range of careers both within and adjacent to Law and your chosen joint subject. You’ll combine legal knowledge with practical skills (such as contract law with negotiation, property law with interviewing and litigation with mooting). You'll also develop key transferable skills that'll be valuable for other career routes.

The range of interdisciplinary modules gives you the chance to expand your expertise and enhance your experiences. This will also provide you with better employment prospects.
