Our School has developed a comprehensive employability and placement support strategy for all of our students, working closely with QUB's Careers, Employability and Skills team, and over 100 local employers, to maximise your chances of having a successful graduate career. A qualification in Law is a great basis for many career paths and is highly regarded by many employers. In studying Law, students develop many invaluable transferable skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, analytical skills, research skills, teamwork, and oral and written communication skills, all of which are highly desired by employers in any area of work.
Whether students choose to pursue a legal career as a solicitor or a barrister or follow the non-legal route, the school and wider university provide targeted opportunities to help students make the most of their time here.
