Law

You’re taught by research-active faculty, and will join a vibrant community with an active student law body. You may undertake training to offer legal advice to the public (under supervision) and, through the Sussex Law Clinics, you can gain valuable work experience of the law in action before you graduate. We also have links with leading law firms that sponsor our student competitions in national and international mooting, criminal advocacy, client interviewing, negotiation, mediation and legal debating.

Studying law develops your skills of analysis, argument and persuasion, equipping you for a variety of careers. Our supportive group of alumni are happy to provide career advice for current students. Successful completion of any of our law courses will provide you with a qualifying law degree.

Accreditation
