Law LLB (Hons), MLaw and MLaw Legal Practice

At York St John Law School, and across the University, our research and teaching is led by principles of social justice. This means we will encourage you to critique and question the law according to principles of equality and fairness. This will help you to develop as an independent and ethical professional as you become aware of the cultural and social contexts. You will be able to give back to your local community through your career. Graduates of these courses will be eligible to progress on to the Solicitors Qualifying Examination for aspiring solicitors and, subject to attainment, the BPTC for aspiring barristers.

Law graduates are known for their ability to think critically, analyse information and solve problems. You will develop a wide range of valuable transferable skills including teamwork, letter writing, practical research and communication skills in a variety of contexts. Our courses have been designed to prepare you to succeed in the modern, digital workplace no matter what your future ambitions.

Our courses cover the crucial areas of law, while also giving you options to choose modules which suit your interests and aspirations. The first two years of study are the same across each of our courses as we introduce you to the core knowledge and skills which will underpin your chosen areas of specialism as you progress through your studies.
