Law with Philosophy

University of LiverpoolLiverpool, United Kingdom

Course overview

Our Law with Philosophy programme allows students to combine law with a complementary programme and still pass through the academic stage of the route to practice. Studying these subjects together means tackling some of the most interesting and important social issues of our times. This degree draws upon the existing strength of both the Liverpool Law School and the Department of Philosophy in a programme which takes you through the academic stage of the route to practice.

You will study the core modules required to obtain a law degree for professional purposes whilst being able to undertake advanced study in philosophy, through which you will learn argumentative skills, critical thinking, and how to present a persuasive case. Module options available in law enable you to specialise in relevant fields of legal study; for example, the law of contract, public law, law of tort, equity and trusts, and land law. Liverpool Law School offers a wide range of optional modules that allow students to specialise in one aspect of law, if they choose, or to mix options from across the curriculum.

Our module leaders are leading researchers in their chosen field, offering students the opportunity to learn about the law from expert scholars and practitioners.
