Course summary

Overview Wherever you study law, it can be a challenging and rewarding subject. At Worcester, the big difference is the personal level of support we give you throughout your law degree. In fact, we even build our teaching around it. Seminar groups are small so you develop close working relationships with your lecturers - both in these groups and when role-playing court procedures in our realistic facilities. You'll also get to meet solicitors, barristers and judges, who visit us as guest speakers to give you a real flavour of the profession. Key features
