Law

Discover the dynamic world of law and its impact on everyday life with Keele University's Law LLB (Hons) programme. Whether you aspire to a traditional legal career, or want to explore opportunities in other industries, our course is designed to align with your career goals.

Take a more theoretical approach to the study of law or opt for a more hands-on approach, immersing yourself in practical experiences through our Legal Advice Clinics or award-winning Community Legal Outreach scheme, where you will support local people who may not be able to easily access legal help. Both paths will develop a diverse set of transferable skills, opening doors to careers in business, media, finance and beyond.

At Keele, you will build a solid foundation in the seven essential areas of legal knowledge: Contract Law, Tort Law, Public Law, Criminal Law, European Law, Land Law, and Equity & Trusts. As you progress through your degree, you can tailor your studies to match your interests, whether in theory or practical applications, tackling contemporary issues like climate change and technological advancements.

Our civic Law School offers various practical learning opportunities that put future employability at the heart of your degree programme. These opportunities enable you to work with real clients, practice your legal skills whilst supported by qualified solicitors, and offer free legal advice to help individuals carefully navigate the justice system. Our CLOCK (Community Legal Outreach Collaboration Keele) scheme and Legal Advice Clinics offer valuable training, building your confidence, critical thinking skills and ability to communicate with various audiences.
