If you are interested in the American legal system, this course provides you with a diverse covering of legal studies, as well as an amazing opportunity to undertake an internship in the USA. Previous students from this course have gone on to work for highly respected legal firms such as Wragge & Co. and private sector companies such as G4S.

A degree in law not only prepares you for a career in the legal sector, but equips you with a range of transferable skills that will enable you to enter a number of professions. Many of our graduates go on to become solicitors or barristers such as Regan Peggs who is now an Associate within a local law firm carrying out work with the Crown and High Courts. After graduating, our students go into jobs as barristers, chartered legal executives, licensed conveyancers and solicitors. This course is particularly focussed on employability with its American internship focus. Our students have worked in New York City and across the USA for a range of LLPs such as Spears and Imes. 82.4 per cent of graduates from the School of Law who responded to our KIS survey went into either employment and/or further study. Salaries for those entering full-time paid employment averaged £18,000. Employers hiring leavers from the School include Citizens Advice Bureau and The Legal Ombudsman, in positions such as Client Advisor and Legal Assessor. You’ll also gain valuable experience through our Employability Challenge Weeks and our Leadership Challenge. Both give you the chance to apply your skills to innovative and exciting projects, industry talks and workshops. You’ll also receive guidance on how to complete application forms and how to write effective CVs.
