Law

Whether you are already committed to a legal career or want to develop skills highly valued by employers outside the profession, you can make a difference with this career-focused degree.

You’ll advance your understanding of the law and its social, moral and political impact, taught by leading, influential experts. But it’s not all about the theory. Here, you’ll benefit from our links to top legal professionals, with the opportunity of paid internships. Our Legal Advice and Mediation Centres will give you hands-on experience of working with real clients. And you’ll practise your court skills through mock trials in our courtroom.

Combine core and optional modules to build your own bespoke course, covering areas of law relevant to our fast-changing world.

Why study at Hull?

And you’re guaranteed a place at the University of Law, to prepare you for qualification via the SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Exam).

Where could this take me?

Many of our graduates choose careers within the legal profession. Our LLB programmes will provide you with the foundations you’ll need for career as a solicitor, barrister or legal executive. But the skills and knowledge you’ll gain are highly transferable and sought-after by employers outside the legal industry.

Hull Law graduates have gone into careers in areas such as politics, civil or financial services, education, the HM Armed Forces and more.
