Build on a UK or international degree in another subject with this law degree.
You’ll study the fundamental principles of English law at undergraduate level. Be taught by experts whose research influences policy, regulatory change and public debate. And learn as a valued member of a tight-knit legal community.
Plus, you gain real-world experience in learning the legal ropes – through mock courtrooms, our Legal Advice Centre, paid internships and more – as part of a degree that's recognised by the Bar Standards Board and Solicitors Regulation Authority.
About this course
This two-year fast-track programme is designed for students who already hold an undergraduate degree in another subject.
This is not a typical law school. We offer a personal experience where every student counts. We take the time to get to know you, develop your abilities, help you challenge current thinking and grow confidence.
We provide you with much more than a degree. We’re all about preparation for your career.
Practise legal skills in mock trials and Law Society mooting and client interviewing competitions. Build your experience through mini-pupillages with Wilberforce Chambers and on internships with local law firms and government. And work on real cases such as employment tribunals in our Legal Advice Centre.
You can rub shoulders with leading law firms at our yearly careers convention.
You’re guaranteed a place at the University of Law2, which prepares students for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE). And we’ve also partnered with the University of Law to deliver the series of Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) postgraduate courses on campus at Hull, for those who want to go on to professional practice.
