What our graduates say

Jade Chalker

Jade Chalker, Law LLB(Hons) and International Law and Social Justice LLM

"I chose to study law as it helps you to think from a different perspective.

"At an undergraduate level, you’re learning the basics of law. These include the areas that everyone pursuing a law career needs to know. Studying at a master’s level is much more complex and specific. You'll be looking more in depth at an area of law and the jurisprudence behind it."

Jessica Akinboyewa

Jessica Akinboyewa, Law with Business LLB(Hons)

"I want to become a barrister and this course has given me the awareness of what is required of me in the future, and to understand what area of law I want to practice.

My law tutors were extremely helpful and made me open to a lot of opportunities I wasn't aware of.

Zoe Bowler

"Achieving a first in my degree showcased my true potential and I was given the opportunity to attend a vacation scheme with city law firm Charles Russell Speechlys. Through this I was offered a training contract.
