This fascinating scheme allows you to research prisoners’ cases with a view to overturning their original conviction. Previous students have had the chance to travel to other cities to attend conferences and visit Chicago on a placement to study criminal justice in the US. Barristers working on key cases or areas of criminal justice also give extra-curricular seminars on their work.

The annual Legal Fair, held on campus, allows you access to a wide variety of law firms and other legal employers to present your CV and gain advice on applying for jobs and training contracts.

“I find that the support that students are given by the academic staff is far beyond what I had expected or hoped for. Besides a huge range of studying materials provided, we also have the opportunity to consult lecturers and seminar tutors and also different forms of assessments besides written examinations. This ensures that the teaching is holistic and learning is made more interesting. Instead of just intensive essay writing throughout the course, we are sometimes assessed through group presentations which facilitate learning”

On our four year courses you take a year abroad as an integral part of your degree course. If you take our LLB Law with French, German or Spanish Law, you’ll study abroad in the relevant language. However, if you take LLB Law (European and International), you’ll study abroad in English, and will be given priority for destination choice.

If you enrol on LLB Law, or LLB Law and Criminology you can choose to extend your studies by a year and spend your third year abroad. Again, you’ll study in English in some fantastic locations.

You don’t have to decide right now, and there are always plenty of destinations to go to. It’s not as expensive as you may think and full details are available at www.sheffield.ac.uk/law.

If you go for a year abroad in Europe you may also qualify for an Erasmus grant. Our academic tutor and dedicated Law Erasmus and Overseas Support Officer will provide a host of useful information and guidance.

Teaching and Learning You can expect to have approximately 8-10 hours per week of formal contact hours in lectures and seminars. We also expect you to spend time engaged in independent study, preparing for lectures, seminars and assessments and self-study is your key to success.

You will be taught and assessed in a number of different ways. Lectures are delivered to large cohorts of students and you will be given an overview of a particular subject by a specialist in that field. Seminars are up to 20 students with a member of academic staff; you will discuss and present on a specific legal topic and will need to prepare in advance.

Our Personal & Academic Tutor system provides 1:1 support and advice from a member of academic staff throughout your studies. Each member of the academic team has weekly office hours, providing you with the opportunity for further discussion on individual academic topics, seminars and assessments.

The Faculty Challenge is designed to give you new skills and improve your employability, working with other students to come up with a solution to a real world problem. You will develop skills in some of the areas that are most important to employers: communication, presentation, teamwork and research.

International StudentsOur international reputation for academic excellence attracts staff and students from all around the world, a fact which helps to define us as a truly global provider of undergraduate law degrees.

All of our courses are open to international students, and for some countries, receiving a qualifying law degree from us will mean that you are able to practise law in your home country. You are advised to check locally before making an application. We offer support and guidance to all our students, including those who may be new to the UK university environment. Wherever you are from, you will be joining an international community as we welcome students from over 30 countries each year to study with us on both full-time degree courses and exchange and study abroad programmes.
