Law | An open and shut case
A career in law can be challenging, and demand the highest standards; but the benefits are excellent. Solicitors and barristers are highly sought after and the salaries are good. The work is also varied, from helping to mediate a difficult divorce settlement to negotiating multi-million pound business investments, so you can choose to follow a career path in an area that suits your interests.
The Glamorgan Law School offers awards from undergraduate to doctorate level. The undergraduate studies are designed to meet the needs of the workplace.
The Law School is housed in the grade II listed Tŷ Crawshay building on the University’s Treforest campus with up-to-date facilities, including a fully equipped mock courtroom. Students practice their debating skills in mooting competitions and we have an active Student Law Society.
Our law graduates are well equipped to analyse complex issues, find solutions to a wide variety of problems and contribute to decision making at all levels. They are skilled in the precise use of language, both oral and written, and understand the limits of the law, and its relationship with other social forces.
Many find careers as lawyers in private practice, while others prefer to work in business, government, the public sector or welfare agencies.
As the Law School has links with more than 40 employers, Glamorgan graduates have the best chances of getting a job and developing a successful professional career.
