Course overview
Liverpool Law School is one of the oldest law departments in the UK. We are committed to contributing, through the excellence of our research and policy work, to critical exploration of the role of law in promoting, or inhibiting, social justice. We strive for social relevance and to influence public debate and policy at the local, national, European and international levels.
Law is not just about learning what the rules are, but about thinking about what they should be. This degree offers a truly modern legal education reflecting the needs and concerns of society in the 21st century. Whether you are planning a career in the legal profession or a career in almost any other field of expertise, this degree will challenge and inspire you.
As a law student you will develop key skills in research, analysis, and legal argument, whilst engaging with the study of law as a socially relevant and rigorous academic discipline. The programme invites you to develop a knowledge and understanding of legal concepts, their practical applications and policy implications within a supported learning environment that incorporates a range of different learning techniques. However, the study of law is not simply about acquiring knowledge.
Throughout the duration of the programme, you are encouraged to learn new skills and enhance your existing abilities to equip and prepare you for the demands of any future career. We aim to provide a programme that fires your imagination and reflects your best endeavours in your final degree classification. We provide the widest possible range of modules that will be of interest to you as you develop your legal specialism.
You can also undertake a dissertation, which is a self-directed research project, and make an original contribution to contemporary law and policy debates.
