What can you do with a Law degree?
Law touches on almost every area of society including business, politics and human rights. It affects global trade, international relations and can help protect the environment. Every aspect of day-to-day life is governed by the law – so a degree in Law is always relevant, and worth the investment.
Study Law and you'll tackle the pressing ethical and legal issues facing society. You'll also gain a better understanding of society, culture and the legal system as a whole. A Law degree is the first step to a career in the legal sector and can prepare you for further training as a barrister or solicitor.
The knowledge, experience and skills you'll learn will also prepare you for many other graduate jobs. With your Law degree, you'll be ready to move into a variety of roles in insurance and banking, and into managerial positions across many other industries.

The LLB Law syllabus at the University of Portsmouth really hones in on taking the law and the practical application of it to legal problems – I think learning this skill early on in my studies set me ahead of my peers.
