As a law and human rights student, not only will you learn legal rules, but you will also consider the function of law in society, the philosophy of law, policy issues and law reform. Our Law and Human Rights Clinics offer you the opportunity to offer advice to real-life clients, giving you the edge in a competitive graduate job market. You can also immerse yourself in many of the extra curricular activities that our School of Law offers – improve your mooting and client interviewing skills in competitions, join our law society and take advantage of networking opportunities throughout the year with visiting firms.You spend your third year studying abroad allowing you to experience other cultures and languages, to broaden your degree socially and academically, and to demonstrate to employers that you are mature, adaptable, and organised.
