A degree in law is designed to allow students to develop a critical understanding of law and its application.
Students can structure their law degree to their own interests.
Those who wish to specialise in commercial, family, criminal law, environmental law or any other specialisation offered by the Faculty of Law can take elective papers in these areas in the third and fourth years of the degree. They are required to complete an additional 2 point seminar paper and a 4 point dissertation. This requires an extra semester of enrolment. Conjoint Degree Options Conjoint degrees enable you to complete the requirements of the two degrees concurrently, reducing the total time required by the equivalent of one year of full-time study. A law graduate wishing to be admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor also needs to complete the Professional Legal Studies Course.
