A Law degree at UEA will not only allow you to develop a valuable set of skills in preparation for a career in the legal profession or beyond, it will also give you the chance to build the professional skills and confidence you need to get your career off to a flying start.
The degree begins with the foundation subjects in law (constitutional and administrative law, criminal law, contract, tort, trusts, land law and EU law). You will gain the building blocks of legal knowledge and begin to cultivate important skills like reasoning, research and writing, formulating convincing arguments, negotiating and working in a team. The point of legal study is not simply to memorise the law, but to be able to engage with it skilfully. As such, many of the skills you will learn are transferable and will be valuable to you within or beyond a career in law. In your second and third years you will begin tailoring your degree by choosing modules that suit your interests. We are one of the few Law Schools in the country to have a semesterised system. This means that core modules are semester long, not year long, thereby allowing greater choice when you are picking optional modules. In fact, you will be free to choose two optional modules in Year 2 and six in Year 3. We provide a wide choice of options, which currently include Criminology, Family Law, Law and Business, British Human Rights Law, Company Law, Competition Law, Crime and Sentencing, Intellectual Property Law, Internet Law, International Humanitarian Law, Media Law and many more. |
