Hear from a tutor and student about studying Law at Liverpool Hope.
Law shapes our society and influences every aspect of our lives. It defines our obligations and legal requirements, serves to regulate and define relationships and provides a means of redress when problems arise.

This course gives you a theoretical and philosophical grounding in Law as well as the ability to engage in its experiential study and application. The course allows you to study a minimum of five core Law courses alongside another subject, for example, Business, Politics, Social Policy, International Studies or Media. Students are provided with the opportunity to meet their own career objectives and ambitions and encouraged within their studies to align themselves to our core values of reflection, ethical action and lifelong learning.
