All of our degree programmes focus on the study of law as an intellectual discipline. They also can form the first major step towards qualifying for practice as a solicitor or barrister, and represent appropriate preliminary training for a range of other careers in which legal knowledge is an asset. They are suitable for the student who has a general interest in law but wants to find out more about it before deciding on a particular vocation.

King’s law graduates are popular with many types of employers. The majority of our students choose to become solicitors in a wide range of firms including Magic Circle, US and other leading law firms and specialist niche firms. Some choose broader business roles such a financial analyst, management consultant or graduate trainee. Others find their law degree opens up opportunities in international development, advisory work, the public sector and teaching. Although the employment market is competitive, our students have been very successful in obtaining posts with the firms or sets of chambers for which they wanted to work. Many law firms will target you but they expect very high quality, motivated applicants in line with those from other top law schools both in the UK and overseas. King’s Careers Service provides you with all the information and activities you need to make an informed career choice and to increase your chances of success.
