Law Combined Degrees

This programme is designed for students who would like to study law combined with another discipline. This combined honours degree provides knowledge of substantive law in conjunction with knowledge of the other discipline chosen, which can be helpful for a range of careers outside law, whether in commerce, administration, marketing or teaching.

Applicants will require 240 UCAS points, gained within a two-year period, of which at least 200 should come from A-levels or equivalent. We also consider applicants with other qualifications.

Law combined honours is not a qualifying law degree for professional purposes according to the Law Society and the Bar Council. Students wishing to enter into the legal profession after they complete this degree might only be exempted by the Law Society for some courses.

  • To give students the ability to identify and explain relevant legal principle, in order to apply them to given factual situations
