Why study this subject?

Studying law opens up a world of possibilities, whether you want to be a boardroom hotshot steering businesses through compliance, regulation and policy, a virtuoso in the court room navigating the law as a solicitor or barrister, or making your mark in politics as a champion of social change.

We want to ensure that you develop the essential skills needed to give you a solid foundation in a legal related career, with the English legal system and professional skills being taught from day one. We also know everyone is different, so our industry experienced lecturers have worked to ensure that a wide range of topics are offered, including criminal law, employment law, environmental law and tort law.

Being able to graduate from BNU with highly transferable and applied skills in communication, analysis and research is an important part of our programme. We design our degree to provide you with a thorough understanding and grounding in law and specialised areas to ensure you graduate ready for employment or further post-graduate study.

Not all learning is done inside of a lecture theatre and there are plenty of chances to visit magistrates’ courts to participate in bail applications, visit Parliament and law courts to experience first-hand how they operate on a day to day basis, meet guest speakers from across the legal industry, including judges, magistrates and law firms, to learn more about how you can apply your knowledge in the workplace.

It allows you to meet with like minded students and practise court proceedings and arguing your case. You can even have the opportunity to participate in varsity and national mooting competitions.
