Enhance your legal education with a global perspective through this rigorous and engaging dual-degree program. As an accredited law qualification, this course provides exemption from the academic requirements for becoming a barrister. Recognizing that legal systems don't exist in isolation, you'll explore the worldwide political landscape alongside the social and cultural dimensions of jurisprudence. The curriculum emphasizes legal fundamentals, teaching you about legislative processes, the workings of the English legal framework, and essential elements of both civil and criminal law.
The international relations component begins with foundational studies in your first year, followed by specialized modules in subsequent years. As a combined degree with mandatory core subjects, elective choices aren't available.
Instructional approaches evolve throughout the program, incorporating lectures, small-group discussions, one-on-one guidance, practical sessions, and digital learning resources.
You'll develop thorough legal expertise and societal awareness. Initial years cover legal essentials including the English Legal System, Public Law, Criminal Law, Tort Law, and Property Law.
International Relations studies commence with "Professional Development: Knowledge, Skills and Self-Awareness," progressing to "International Institutions and Major Power Dynamics" in year two. Final year options include "Gender, Authority and Political Systems" and "African Political Development."
This qualification equips graduates with sought-after competencies valued by diverse employers.
Alumni frequently secure solicitor positions after completing the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and training contracts. Others pursue careers as barristers through the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) and pupillage, leading to either independent practice or employed barrister roles.
