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.

As a law student, you'll tackle pressing ethical and legal issues facing society. You'll also develop a better understanding of society, culture and the legal system as a whole.

A degree in law 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 are also highly sought-after in many graduate careers – from insurance to banking, to managerial roles across many industries.
