Thirdly, we will encourage you to adopt a critical approach to your law studies, assessing the social and political contexts in which law develops and operates. Our modules are delivered using a range of methods, including lectures, small group tutorials and larger group seminars. Through providing students with a range of experiences, we hope to encourage the development of a wide array of diverse transferable skills that will equip students both for further educational study and the working-world. Although many students will choose to study Law with a legal career in mind, it is important to remember that less than 50 per cent. The careers they follow range very widely from business to social services, from journalism to accountancy, from human rights activism to the police force, etc.
Some students opt for further postgraduate study in law or a related discipline.
The aim of our law course, therefore, is not to train professional lawyers, but to facilitate students becomming thoughtful, critical scholars. At the same time, we provide information and advice on a range of careers, including legal ones. See Legal Careers information .
