Department of Law

The Department of Law offers undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees through full-time, part-time and distance learning study modes, catering for many different types of students at many stages of their professional careers.  

Because we are a big Department, we can offer this range of courses and extensive staff expertise, but everything we do is underpinned by quality, and by a concern for our students as individuals. That is why we interview most applicants, and why each of our courses is relatively small in size, compared with other Law Schools.
