Develop knowledge of the connection between US and UK legal systems. Not only do you gain a qualifying law degree but you also explore the history, politics, culture and literature of the Americas. You experience first-hand a new culture and legal system on your year abroad at one of our American partner institutions. 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.

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, honed during your year abroad, in fields such as: multinational companies or broadcast media public relations or human resources policy development or politics.
