Law with Politics

Whether you're interested in public law or have a desire to work in the administration of government, our Law with Politics programme is designed to equip you with a grounding in legal principles and an in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of politics and government in the United Kingdom and beyond.

You will build an understanding of the nature of politics, its relevance in contemporary society, challenges to democracy and issues such as polarisation, corruption and anti-politics, from a global perspective. We will help you to prepare for a career in law and related sectors - the transferable skills you will gain on this programme apply to a variety of industries.

You will cover 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 you would like to explore 'Global Democracy Under Threat', 'The Dark Side of Politics' or 'Building a Better Future' as a global and active citizen.
