Law

About this course

A law degree develops one of the most transferable intellectual skill sets in higher education: the ability to identify and apply legal principles, construct rigorous arguments, analyse complex documents, and think clearly under pressure about contested questions. Law itself is the system of rules and institutions through which societies regulate behaviour, resolve disputes, and define rights, and studying it means engaging with criminal law, contract law, land law, tort, constitutional and administrative law, and equity and trusts, all of which form the foundation of legal practice and examination in England and Wales. At the University of Huddersfield, this three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year with work placement, giving you the opportunity to gain real legal or professionally relevant experience before completing your degree. Placements can be arranged in law firms
