Study a qualifying law degree while developing knowledge of the links between law and the media in society. As well as covering core legal modules, you explore issues ranging from the regulation of media and communications to intellectual property rights. You may undertake training to offer legal advice to the public (under supervision) and through the Sussex Law Clinic you can gain practical experience of the law in action before you graduate. And with 24/7 access to specialist facilities – including a news room, edit suites and a sound-proofed studio – you can access the equipment you need whenever suits you.

You’ll be prepared – subject to completion of the necessary further qualifications – to practise law as a solicitor, a barrister or an in-house lawyer for a public limited company or a government agency. Or you can choose to use your excellent communication skills in fields such as: broadcast media public relations or human resources policy development or politics.
