THE RELEVANCE OF

STUDYING LAW FOR YOUR FUTURE CAREER

In today’s rapidly changing employment environment, an Law degree is valued

by business and industry.

A wide range of avenues are open to Law graduates who wish to pursue a career
outside the legal profession. By studying Law, students develop an impressive range of
transferable skills including communication, problem-solving, negotiating and teamwork.

These skills are equally sought after in fields such as advice work (including
welfare advice and housing); local authorities (e.g. trading standards officers);
accountancy (particularly auditing, which requires both financial and legal acumen);
human resources management; the Police; Journalism and Information Management.

Law is not just about learning what the rules are, but about thinking about what
they should be. This degree offers a truly modern legal education reflecting the needs
and concerns of society in the 21st century. Whether you are planning a career in the
legal profession or a career in almost any other field of expertise, this degree will
challenge and inspire you.

Law students benefit from degree programmes which develop their key skills in
presentation and legal argument and research, whilst engaging students with the study
of law, the impact of law in society and the operation and construction of legal rules.
