Law

Our Law (LLB) degree builds the foundation of your future career and is the gateway to professional training to become a solicitor, barrister or legal executive as well as a highly respected discipline for entry into a number of other careers. Chester Law School maintains strong links with local legal professionals and the wider community to enhance our degree and ensure you make the most out of your time at university. Guest lecturers, co-curricular outreach and pro bono (free legal advice) opportunities can enhance your skillset and transform you into a Law graduate who stands out from the crowd.

Studying our Law (LLB) degree allows you to tailor your studies to your interests. Gain a rich understanding of key concepts in your first year of study. Have the opportunity to focus on areas of Law that particularly interest you in your final year of study and develop your skills before you graduate.

Outside of your studies, join our Law Society which hosts a variety of events throughout the year, gain an insight into law in the real world by volunteering with our Legal Advice Clinic, or get involved with Chester Community Law Project, our student-led outreach programme which enables volunteers to use their legal knowledge to benefit our local community.

Our team is made up of former practitioners and nationally recognised academic lawyers, committed to helping our students make their career aspirations a reality.
