Overview

Law with Criminology (Placement Year) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Law is offered as a qualifying degree at most universities, which is the route that counts if you plan to practise in England or Wales.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Careers opportunities

A qualifying law degree covers the academic stage only. To practise in England and Wales you then take the SQE and complete two years of qualifying work experience, and training contracts are competitive and applied for years ahead. Many graduates never qualify and use the degree in compliance, policy and business.

  • Trainee solicitor
  • Pupil barrister
  • Paralegal
  • Compliance and regulatory officer
  • Legal counsel in time
  • Policy or governance adviser

  • Banks and insurers
  • Charities and advice services
After the course

The SQE and two years of qualifying work experience for solicitors; the bar course and pupillage for barristers.
