Course summary


This is a Connected Degree

Portsmouth is the only University in the UK with the flexibility to choose when to do an optional paid placement or self-employed year. Either take a placement in your third year, or finish your studies first and complete a placement in your fourth year. You can decide if and when to take a placement after you've started your course.


Overview

Develop your understanding of UK law and the legal system as you explore the foundations of law as a discipline, build key legal skills such as client interviewing and negotiation, and gain a wide but detailed knowledge of UK law topics. Our partnership with Barbri means you’ll be ready for your exams when you graduate whether you take the Bar exams or the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE).Take part in live community projects to apply your learning as you study, and have the chance to practise your legal skills in our replica courtroom — where you’ll experience what advocacy can be like in a real crown court with hidden recording equipment so you can review your performance afterwards.If you take a paid industry placement year, you’ll spend a year working in the legal profession or a quasi-legal environment, such as the Bank of England. You’ll graduate ready to enter a range of jobs with your law degree.
