Law shapes the society and influences every aspect of people's lives. It defines obligations and legal requirements, serves to regulate and define relationships and provides a means of redress when problems arise. To study Law is not only to study a challenging subject, but also to study the rules, principles and policies that underpin society. This degree gives students a theoretical and philosophical grounding in Law, as well as the ability to engage in its practical study and application.
To succeed in Law students will need to be able to think logically, enjoy solving problems, have a good eye for detail, be able to argue their point and test the views and opinions of others. The program is intellectually stimulating and rewarding, and a natural choice for those who are actively curious about current affairs, rules, principles, society, morality, ethics, the role of the state and value of the individual.
The Law LLB sets out to give students the opportunity to study law in a contemporary, contextual and reflective setting. Liverpool Hope University's aim is to go beyond a perception of law as a set of rules to be learned and to encourage students to evaluate and critique current law and practice, to understand their theoretical foundations, to develop a thorough understanding of their social and ethical context and, in the context of professional ethics and client care, to analyze and reflect upon the role and identity of the professional in contemporary society.
