First Year Degree in Law and Social Sciences - Stage 2 at St Marys University London International College

The Law degree at St Mary's University is taught by leading academics in the field, and former solicitors and barristers, in an open and friendly environment, with emphasis given to supporting students as individuals. Our Criminology and Sociology degrees will provide a sound understanding of the key conceptual issues involved in the study of society, crime and criminal justice. The progamme places an emphasis on helping you to develop your employability skills and providing a wide range of relevant experiences: an employment tribunal; Supreme and County courts; Bank of England; and Lloyds of London, to name just a few. Commercial awareness workshops give you the chance to develop awareness of topical issues. In addition, guest lecturers, which have in the past included a practitioner teaching a domestic violence workshop and a former prisoner running a workshop on aspects of Criminal Justice, feature regularly on the programme. There are also opportunities to observe practitioners at a local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) and at a pro-bono legal advice service for the local community. You may even be able to take part in an extensive CAB training course, bespoke to St Mary's law students, and become CAB telephone assessors. ...Read more
