School of Law
Law provides the framework for economic and social life and for relationships between states, governments, and individuals.
Why Study Law At Warwick?
Warwick Law School is one of the leading law schools in the UK, renowned for its high quality teaching and research.
It pioneered – and continues to apply – a unique approach to the study of law: one that is contextual, comparative and international. This approach provides an excellent foundation for students wishing to become solicitors or barristers: examining the impact of economic, cultural and political change on the law, whilst encouraging them to consider its impact beyond court rooms and law firms.
Variations on our LLB present opportunities to study law in a range of non-UK jurisdictions around the world (in French, German or English), complemented by Warwick-based French and German academics teaching the law of their own countries.
We draw on the expertise of staff who have first‑hand experience of teaching or practising law in over 15 non-UK jurisdictions, across the world.
Warwick graduates have a solid grounding in the technical and doctrinal aspects of the law, but they are also aware of the critical role that law can play in improving social and economic conditions in modern societies.
Student Profile: Jasmine Schrembri,
3rd year, Law
'Warwick Law School is highly regarded and as a result, the world’s best Law Firms frequently visit to hold skills workshops and presentations to help us when applying for jobs. This has benefitted me as an aspiring lawyer as I have been able to connect with each of the Law Firms I am considering applying to. I have been an active member of the Law Society, which has given me the opportunity to get involved with Mooting and Pro Bono.
The society has been a perfect way to network with students on the same course and in other years. Studying at Warwick has been fantastic and has exceeded all of my expectations. The campus is beautiful, the course exciting and the people here are incredible'.
Students from more than 50 countries choose to study law at Warwick, thus taking advantage of our global and contextual approach, in a truly international Law School.
We are a close-knit, friendly department with a tradition of excellent communication between staff and students.
How Will I Be Taught?
Each module usually has two lectures per week, plus regular seminars which offer opportunities for legal problem solving and discussion of ethical or policy issues relating to the law. Staff also have regular office hours in which you will be able to discuss issues outside the seminar room.
How Will I Be Assessed?
We offer a variety of assessment methods, with emphasis placed on continuing assessment through class tests, essays and other formative and summative written work. You can also decide whether you wish to weight your degree towards examinations or essays. Our contextual approach to law demands consistent work and effort over the full degree programme. We expect you to be committed to your education and to take legal study seriously. In return, we will provide the support and advice necessary to help you realise your full potential.
