Law School Study Taster
Are you considering applying to Law School after graduation? If so, this selection of units may be for you! In the UK, Law is taught as an undergraduate degree programme, and so at Bristol, we teach a range of law, criminology, and policy units at undergraduate level. Why not use your study abroad experience to get a taste of what it is like to study law?
You will find units on:
• law and the state, constitutional rights, and legal history
• human rights, law and race, law and poverty and wealth
• crime, harm and justice
• gender, youth, and global justice
