Students will study key topics of international relevance, such as trade, criminal and human rights law. In this age of increasing globalisation, expertise in these areas will boost students' employability both in the UK and internationally.
This course is ideal, whether students wish to pursue a career as a solicitor or barrister or an international legal career. Students will have the opportunity to spend a year either working or studying abroad, which is great to have on their CV if they're considering an international career. Students also have the opportunity to do internships during the degree.
Over the course of this degree, students may lead mock trials and cross-examine forensic experts and witnesses in court. They might work in the Legal Advice Centre, giving legal advice in domestic and consumer disputes, or they might participate in one of the international mooting or client interviewing competitions. Students will graduate with legal knowledge, applied skills, and work experience that is highly valued by employers.
Many graduates become solicitors or barristers or work as legal professionals within international businesses and organisations. Some graduates progress to study at postgraduate level.
