Integrated Foundation - Bachelor of Laws (Honours) - Law

A law degree brings with it prestige, good career prospects and the possibility of an attractive salary but, more than this, it opens a route into the legal profession. As a law graduate students are fact finders, problem solvers and able to develop reasoned arguments. These skills are transferable, enabling a diverse range of career opportunities.

Students study the foundations of legal knowledge needed to allow them to go on to further training to qualify as a barrister. In addition, students choose from a number of optional modules as diverse as the law of evidence, international law, family law, medical law and corporate law.

Students learn key skills which they can use in any career – critical appraisal, expressing a logical argument, research skills and fluent communication – and students get a taste of practicing law in Teesside's replica courtroom. Add this to the experience students could gain from voluntary work, a placement, or Teesside Law Clinic, and students will have the transferable skills that mean they are well placed to work in a range of careers in all sorts of business environments.
