Course Overview

In this course, you will join a challenging, vibrant, and friendly community, led by an experienced team of academics and practitioners, consisting of solicitors, barristers, and international lawyers. The foundation year helps you develop the study skills and self-confidence needed for higher education.

Your Law degree will enable you to progress to the vocational stage of lawyer’s training, to qualify as either a solicitor or barrister. This original and innovative course has been designed in consultation with senior managers to give you both theoretical and practical experience.

As part of your degree, you will have the option to get involved with practical justice including opportunities to shadow a local judge and experience live mediations from our in-house Mediation Clinic. Through our strong links with the local community, Citizens Advice, and local courts, you will have the opportunity to act as a Community Legal Companion for unrepresented parties in court. This is an excellent opportunity for you to gain hands-on work experience in a legal setting.
