Profile
Learn how the legal process operates and how the law and social forces influence one another in our modern world. In this degree, you’ll explore the key foundations of law (constitutional law, contract law, and criminal law, for instance), and examine critical perspectives on the nature of these subjects, the practice of law, and the wider role of law in society. The BCL (Law and Society) course suits analytical problem solvers who want to understand the role law plays in regulating social systems and engage critically with the possibilities of law reform. You may choose to extend the degree from three to four years by spending an optional year studying abroad. The course also presents the opportunity to study the core modules to prepare for entrance exams to the Law Society as a trainee solicitor, or you could qualify for entrance to the Barrister-at-Law degree at King’s Inns. Alternatively, upon graduation, you may choose to work in the public service, politics, NGOs, journalism, criminology, criminal justice, equality organizations, or international institutions.
