This course is recognised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and The Bar Standards Board, and hence will facilitate students' journey to becoming a solicitor or a barrister, or a broader range of careers.
Students will learn about the law and legal skills such as how to interview clients. Students will take part in mock court cases (civil and criminal) and work on real-life legal problems.
Students will gain a strong foundation in legal knowledge and skills relevant to careers in the legal profession and many other areas of employment. There is a focus on work experience and professional mentors, thanks to the University of Cumbria’s industry links.
Public speaking events, mock trials, and student competitions will further boost the skills. Throughout, students will be taught by tutors with experience of working in law, who will provide the support and knowledge to ensure they stay on track.
