Law Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Law at the University of Cambridge allows you to understand law in its historical and social contexts, and to examine its general principles and techniques.

This course will prepare you to become qualified as a solicitor or barrister. As part of the course you will be able to specialise from second year and study other legal systems from outside the UK.

This course allows you to explore the law beyond the fundamental subjects to consider its interdisciplinary relationship with philosophy, economics, ethics, criminology, social policy, and history.  

In your first year you’ll study a range of topics such as Criminal Law and Constitutional Law.  

You will then be able to specialise and explore your interests from your second and third year. 

The Faculty and University Law Society organise numerous activities, including: 

* public lectures 

* careers events with leading barristers’ and solicitors’ firms 

* social events 

* mooting competitions (debates about hypothetical legal cases)
