Undergraduate Qualifications

A law degree will enable you to develop transferable skills of great value to employers, including the ability to present reasoned arguments, and gather and assess evidence to support decision making and solve problems. A law degree is the normal route taken by people wishing to enter the legal profession, but is also an asset for many careers that are not directly related to law – such as finance, human resources, education, local and central government, the voluntary sector or management.
