Turn theory into practice with real-life, hands-on experience in our Legal Advice Centre and Mediation Centre. You will be making a difference, helping actual clients with real issues, whether it be divorce, child contact or supporting with benefit appeals. You are also guaranteed a place at the University of Law to study for your Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE). Why study at Hull? • Taught by experts: Our lecturers are at the forefront of the legal profession.

It’s a great way to embed your skills and decide how you want to direct your future career pathway. • Study abroad: Choose to broaden your legal and political horizons with a year in one of our highly respected partner institutions overseas. Where could this take me? Our Law with Politics graduates have developed skills and knowledge that make them highly employable.
