Stand out to employers by gaining professional experience through our Business and Law Clinic and developing your skills through creative assessment.
Why study law?
Law is an incredibly varied subject that affects every aspect of human life, right down to the air we breathe.
It affects our relationships with each other, the state and other countries. It affects our education, employment, travel, property, health and human rights.
The law industry is competitive and changes in line with social needs. A law degree offers diverse career pathways and a skillset to help you succeed in almost any career.
