Law at Loughborough
Loughborough Law is committed to understanding law within its broader social, economic, political and historical contexts, consistently bringing interdisciplinary perspectives into our teaching and research, with a particular focus on the relationships between law and social justice.
As well as receiving a thorough grounding in essential legal knowledge and methods, our students are actively encouraged to pursue their own intellectual and vocational interests.
We offer students personalised attention in small cohorts, and support them to develop the skills of critical thinking and analysis that are in high demand in both the legal profession and a wide range of alternative career destinations.
We regularly consult with leaders in legal education, the legal profession and other potential employers to ensure that our programmes respond to current challenges and equip students to thrive in an ever-changing work environment.
Loughborough Law is an ideal choice for thoughtful and highly motivated students who are interested in making a difference in the world.
