Course Content

At undergraduate level, we aim to have no more than five students in each tutorial, allowing you to develop your skills in a friendly environment. Your teachers get to know you personally and are on hand to support you with your studies.

We provide:

• experienced teaching staff, many of whom are Barristers, or Solicitors, holding PhDs and having published articles and books
• Masterclasses with world class advocates which will help you to become a good or even a great lawyer
• an active and vibrant Student Law Society
• the chance to make a difference via our Amnesty International Student Society

The study of law requires intense discussion of the nature of problems, understanding different viewpoints and analysis to resolve them. This is best accomplished through the type of small group teaching in which the Buckingham Law School specialises and which makes us different from most other law schools.

Mooting and negotiating are compulsory elements in our Legal Skills module with the chance to attend other practical sessions and to enter external competitions.

We organise an annual Legal Workshop, in partnership with practitioners, which allows you to practise advising clients and to present short cases as though in court.
