Experience law in practice
Practical experience is embedded into each course, and we also offer opportunities to gain Qualifying Work Experience through initiatives such as our CLOCK Legal Companion Scheme, Citizens Advice Project and working within our pro-bono Brighton Legal Clinic.
These projects will train you to provide legal advice to members of the local community, to assist litigants or overturn wrongful convictions – all with the support of qualified lawyers.
Paid work placements
You'll have the opportunity to spend a year in a paid placement allowing you to apply your learning building your work experience, life skills and contacts before you graduate.
Postgraduate placement students qualify for our two-year international study visa, and the new UK Graduate Route.
Students in the past have completed placements at Oracle, HM Prison Service, the Home Office, IBM, the House of Lords and Acumen Business Law.
Learn from the experts
Our courses reflect current leading law research and practice in innovative ways. You'll be taught by a team who often balance teaching with external positions in law firms and chambers, and research.
This brings emphasis on exploring the relationship between law and justice in the social context and excellent networking and employability opportunities to our students.
