Law & Criminal Investigation
Our LLB (Hons) course is a qualifying law degree and provides exemption from the academic stage of legal training for the Bar Council and Law Society Examinations.
Satisfied students
Law students gave Teesside a fantastic score of 98% for overall student satisfaction in the 2008 National Student Survey.
Developing skills
Law provides you with a thorough grounding in important skills like analysis, problem solving and written and oral communications. You'll explore key legal concepts and ways of reasoning which can be applied to the substantive law.
At the same time, skills such as the ability to research and present information are developed through individual and group tasks.
Study combinations
Law is also available with other subjects as part of a combined degree and non-law graduates are able to take the LLB (Hons) Senior Status Route over two years of full-time study or three years part-time. This is also a qualifying law degree.
Superb facilities
Our state-of-the-art facilities offer a first class learning environment. We have a replica court room, a police station, the largest crime scene house in a British University, as well as a digital evidence lab.
Mock trials
The University's Mooting Society is run entirely by students and operates a series of internal and external moots (mock trials), including a regional inter-university competition. A separate Law Society also organises social events.
