Graduates benefit from employability events, clinical projects via the GO Justice Initiative, and skills in critical thinking and analysis. The degree foundations careers in civil service, journalism, banking, and law; it meets Bar Standards Board requirements for barristers in England & Wales and supports solicitor qualification via SQE or Northern Ireland routes, followed by professional training.
