Law

About this course

Law at Cambridge is studied with an emphasis on understanding law in its historical and social contexts, and on examining its general principles and techniques. The programme is not purely vocational: it asks you to understand not just what the law is but how it came to be, why it takes the forms it does, and how legal reasoning works as an intellectual practice. Cambridge law is renowned for its depth of analytical training and its breadth of legal knowledge, and it attracts students who are committed to engaging with law as a serious intellectual discipline as well as a professional pathway. This three-year full-time degree develops rigorous legal reasoning through close study of core areas of English and comparative law, including contract, tort, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, land law, equity and trusts, and European and international dimensions of law.
