• A law degree brings with it prestige, good career prospects, and the possibility of an attractive salary but, more than this, it opens a route into the legal profession. As a law graduate, students are a fact finder, a problem solver, and able to develop reasoned arguments. These skills are transferable enabling a diverse range of career opportunities.
  • Students study the foundations of legal knowledge needed to allow them to go on to further training to qualify as a barrister. In addition, they choose from a number of optional modules as diverse as the law of evidence, international law, family law, medical law, and corporate law.
  • Students learn key skills which they can use in any career – critical appraisal, expressing a logical argument, research skills, and fluent communication – and they get a taste of practicing law in our replica courtroom. Add this to the experience you could gain from voluntary work, a placement, or Teesside Law Clinic, and they will have the transferable skills that mean they are well placed to work in a range of careers in all sorts of business environments.
