Study Opportunities in Law

We offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in addition to PhD and MPhil Research opportunities in Law, which has allowed us to achieve an excellent track record of graduate employment. The School enjoys extremely good relations with members of the legal profession both regionally and at national and international levels, and many of our alumni now occupy senior positions in major organisations in the UK and overseas. We also offer law modules for non-lawyers.
