Two dedicated law careers tutors are on hand to discuss career options and upcoming opportunities and advise about different firms.
We host a wide range of external speakers yearly representing the legal profession.
You get the chance to develop your legal skills during the course:
The Legal Advice Clinic allows you to advise non-law students on legal issues (with support from academics and local solicitors)
The 'LEGAL WEEK' is an informal student-staff discussion group that runs every two weeks, and contemporary issues with legal implications are discussed. 'LEGAL WEEK' allows interaction and fruitful exchange of ideas and improves current awareness.
Your professional competencies can be enhanced by getting involved with the Student Law Society's debating, client interviewing, negotiating, and mooting activities.
The course will give you a critical understanding of the legal principles relating to international human rights and the policy considerations underpinning them. You will develop your ability to analyze, interpret and apply various legal, socio-legal, and contextual materials to solve complex legal problems.
Combined with developing your knowledge of human rights law, the course will stimulate your capacity for independent legal research and strengthen your oral and written expression skills, which will further enhance your opportunities within the legal profession. As well as giving you the freedom and opportunity to study two separate modules from any area of law, choosing from our full and extensive range of modules. Previous students in our program have gone on to work in private practice or non-governmental organizations such as the UN.
