Program Overview

This course offers a qualifying law degree that is recognized by the Bar Standards Board and Solicitors Regulation Authority. It will enable you to progress to the vocational stage of legal training if you aim to become a barrister or solicitor. A Kingston University law degree is also a great foundation for a career in business, industry and administration. Alongside your course you will also develop your professional experience. You will have the opportunity to undertake two professional internships (depending on availability) or a professional module. The professional modules consist of professional and personal skills training that will help you prepare for the world of work after you graduate. You'll also have the opportunity to spend a year studying abroad. Our Professional Readiness Programme will help you develop new skills to prepare for internships and employment. You will take workshops on developing your own brand, networking to create opportunities, maximizing your potential and understanding the legal sector and career paths. We will also encourage you to gain a full university experience by participating in conferences and events organized by our research groups.

All this is within the same three years as a traditional degree. However you'll gain more practical experience and develop the skills employers’ value most. This intensive and innovative programme will provide students with the self-determination they need to reach their goals. We want our students to have high aspirations and we will have high expectations of them. Our courses are carefully constructed to allow you to build knowledge and skills progressively during your degree programme. We constantly update our curriculum to ensure that it covers the latest developments in your subject area, including the research and professional experience that your tutors bring to the course. Our course teams also draw on the wealth of experience provided by our professional contacts and highly successful alumni who feed into the design of our courses and provide master classes and workshops to enrich your learning.
