Program Overview

Course overview

By studying Law combined with another subject, you will explore the fundamental areas of law alongside another academic programme, establishing your knowledge and understanding in two distinct disciplines. Chester Law School maintains strong links with local legal professionals and the wider community to enhance our degree programme and to ensure you make the most out of your time at University. Specialist opportunities such as guest lecturers and an array of co-curricular outreach and pro bono (free legal advice) opportunities can enhance your skillset and transform you into a graduate that stands out from the crowd.

Why study this course with us?

Our BA Combined Honours degree builds the foundation of your future career by allowing you to tailor your studies to your interests. Gain a rich understanding of key concepts in your first year of study and experience our Work Based Learning module in second year. Final year students have the opportunity to focus their studies on areas of Law that particularly interest them, developing their skills within their chosen specialist modules before they 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 the department’s Legal Advice Clinic, or get involved with Chester Community Law Project, the Law School’s 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.

"Our Law modules are taught by both experienced academics and legal professionals with a wide variety of research interests and expertise, meaning that whatever your motivation for studying Law, there is something for you on our programme."

— Andrea Todd, Programme Leader Undergraduate Law Programmes
