Our law degrees include the LLB as well as a range of BAs which offer you the opportunity to combine core legal subjects with non-law modules.

Teaching at the School of Law is primarily by lecture and tutorials, with some modules offering discussion groups and seminars. You will also have the opportunity to take part in our Skillegal Programme, which offers a series of workshops covering presentation, communication and negotiation skills.

Student societies

The school is home to a number of law-related societies, catering for a wide variety of activities. All of these societies are run by current students from the school, elected to committee by their fellow students.

Undergraduate degree courses

Qualifying for professional practice

All our undergraduate law degrees allow exemption from the academic stage of qualification as a Barrister.

Graduates wishing to qualify as barristers may proceed directly to the vocational stage of legal training - the Bar Training Course.

Students who wish to become a solicitor must, after graduation, undertake the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE).

Overseas practice

Law graduates from the University of Nottingham may be eligible to practise overseas including in Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Singapore, where admission to the Bar (or equivalent) can be attained subject to meeting the jurisdictions' conditions.

The cases we study in tort and contract all pertain to real life situations and allow you to better understand the intricacies of legal principles. The professors are also charismatic and manage to capture our interest even when explaining difficult concepts.
