Why study Law?

“Having knowledge of legal concepts is invaluable within organisations and general life”

Being able to practise debating, analysis and be concise in talking and writing is really useful. My favourite topic is employment law as I want to pursue a career in Human Resources.

Maisy Ward, BSc (Hons) Criminology and Law

“The atmosphere and supportive nature of the course design helped me achieve my full potential”

The modules were tailored to the new SQE route, the lessons were always engaging (even on the more technical subjects) and I always felt supported by the lecturers throughout my degree. I would recommend anyone to study law at Bath Spa University.

Kirsty Soper, LLB (Hons) Law
