Law

Our qualifying law degrees combine academic study with opportunities to experience law in practice, preparing you for a career as a legal professional or as a legal specialist within an organisation.

Taken over three years or four with an optional paid placement, core learning provides practical skills in presentation, negotiation, oration, mooting and advocacy and develops an understanding of the English legal system.

Our law courses are recognised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board.

The advantage of studying law at Brighton is that they give you the option to not only combine it with business, but also to do a business placement. It enabled me to take a year out to focus and be in the workplace, meaning I came back to the final year feeling much more engaged with the topics.
