As a law student at Swansea you will study in a supportive, student-focused environment. You will gain a solid foundation in legal reasoning and analysis, as well as in the substantive laws of England and Wales. You will have the opportunity to apply legal concepts and to develop a range of skills including communication, problem-solving, research and critical thinking. You will have the chance to study a range of subject areas giving you the opportunity to shape your degree around your personal interests. Our degree programmes offer a range of experiential learning opportunities including our acclaimed Law Clinic and the Miscarriage of Justice Project. You will also have the chance to get involved in mooting, interviewing and negotiation. We offer a wide range of local, national and international work and study placements, and the support to help you achieve your goals and ambitions. A law degree is not a professional qualification. Students wishing to qualify as a solicitor must pass the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE 1&2) and complete the required qualifying work experience. While our law degrees are designed to provide students with skills and knowledge relevant to the SQE1 we would recommend students undertake targeted postgraduate study before attempting either part of the SQE.

For students interested in a career as a barrister, our Law programmes are compliant with the QAA benchmark statement for law and provide coverage of the foundations of legal knowledge as required by the Bar Standards Board.
