Bachelor of Law (Hons) with Placement Year

Program Overview

Study law and work in our on-campus law firm — getting a head start on your solicitor qualifications.

  • Get real legal work experience in every year of your degree.
  • Take work placements in legal settings across the UK and overseas.
  • Study modules designed around the Solicitors Qualifying Examination.
  • Work in our on-campus law firm alongside practising lawyers and specialist academics.
  • Have the opportunity to work abroad — with the possibility of Erasmus funding being available for European placements.

On this course, you’ll gain the skills, experience, contacts and credentials you need to kick-start your legal career. You’ll do real legal work through our on-campus law firm while gaining a detailed legal education, designed around the Solicitors Qualifying Examination. When you graduate, you won’t only have an accredited law degree — you’ll have extensive legal work experience to support your qualification as a solicitor.

How you learn

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.

This course provides you with a solid base for a wide range of legal careers.

From your first year, you’ll gain a detailed induction into law, and begin working on real cases and projects in our on-campus law firm, SHU Law.

In your second year, you’ll begin to specialise — choosing an area such as criminal appeals, prisoners' rights, commercial litigation, personal injury or employment law to experience as part of SHU Law.

Your final year allows you to build on your experience, taking on more responsibility for your cases and working more closely with your clients. You will also have opportunities to branch out into placement settings across the UK and overseas, while cementing your knowledge not just as a student, but as a trainee lawyer.

Other final year opportunities include working within our Human Rights Clinic and working with children and young people through our Street Law module.
