Study Law at Hull

How are we different from other law schools? Here, you’re a name not a number: a member of a tight-knit legal community that wants the best for you. And you’re studying to become a legal professional from day one. So get your best suit ready. You’re going to need it.

Start making a difference to people’s lives, before you graduate

You get the chance to provide real legal advice to real clients at our Legal Advice Centre and our recently enhanced Mediation Centre.

This means you could be helping parents regain contact with their children, advising clients on divorce and property rights, and assisting with appeals against benefits decisions.

And you can even take part in internships with local law firms and government, and mini-pupillages with Wilberforce Chambers, as well as have the opportunity to take part in rewarding volunteering projects working with real legal issues. You might even find yourself walking the halls of Westminster...

Hull has been training legal professionals since 1927 to look at the law in social, moral and political contexts. It's time for you to be part of that tradition.

We provide you with much more than a degree

We’re all about preparation for your career. Every chance we get, we encourage you to engage with clients in real-world situations.

Hull graduates go on to pursue careers like being solicitors, barristers and legal executives. Or they work in areas outside of the legal profession like politics, teaching, the civil service and more.

You name it, we’ve helped make it happen.
