Careers Opportunities
The academic study of law will give you an insight in to the legal systems on which much of our day-to-day life is based. As well as acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of the law, this degree will enable you to develop a range of key employability skills such as reasoning and critical judgement, researching for accuracy, confidence gained from public speaking, ability to formulate arguments and great attention for detail. These skills are highly transferable and can place you well for a career inside or outside of the legal profession.
If you intend to practice law after graduation you must go on to further study and vocational training. To become a solicitor in England and Wales you have to complete the Legal Practice Course (LPC), followed by a two-year training contract with a law firm, or Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). If your aim is to work as a barrister in England and Wales, you need to undertake the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC), followed by a one-year training period called a pupillage. Variations in training routes exist in Scotland and Northern Ireland for both roles.
What can I do with this qualification?
As a graduate with a law degree, there are a range of career options that you’ll be more acquainted with and are more obvious to you, including becoming a solicitor, barrister, paralegal, legal executive, legal secretary and patent attorney.
If you qualify as a solicitor, you’ll have direct contact with clients, with the broadest caseload coming from high street practices which cover criminal, family, probate and business law. Opportunities are therefore available in private practice, in public sector bodies such as local authorities and the Government, and in the in-house legal departments of companies.
If you choose the barrister route, you’ll most likely work in sets of chambers on a self-employed basis. Others are employed in public sector bodies such as the Crown Prosecution Service, the Armed Forces legal service, and the Government Legal Service.
Alternative career options
Not all graduates want to qualify as a lawyer, yet they want to work in an area that involves legal content whether it is in business or in the wider community. There are a variety of fields that you could work within (please note, that some of these areas may require further study or work experience):
