Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Law (M100)

BA Law thoroughly covers the foundations of English law. Core modules examine areas including tort, contract, trusts, criminal law and public law. 

Our optional modules allow student to specialize in the areas of law that interest them. If them don't want to practice law as a career, they can choose optional modules from subjects outside of the school, which will expand their knowledge and career opportunities in a wide variety of sectors.

We also offer the opportunity to apply in their second year to transfer to one of our four-year programs, which include a year abroad at a partner law school in locations including Australia, Europe or the USA. Students who have participated have proved to be very attractive to employers.

They will graduate with specialist knowledge and the transferable skills and confidence they need to stand out to employers as they start their career.

Exemptions

All our undergraduate law degrees allow exemption from the academic stage of qualification as a Barrister. Graduates wishing to qualify as barristers may proceed directly to the vocational stage of legal training - the Bar Training Course.

Students who begin their course in 2022, or thereafter, and who wish to become a solicitor must undertake the Solicitors Qualifying Examination.

There are no exemptions conferred on students who have an undergraduate law degree. A number of institutions offer courses preparing students to pass the SQE. Some of these institutions guarantee a place for Nottingham graduates with at least a 2:2 degree.
