There is no doubt that a Law degree gives you a whole host of transferable skills. This means that these skills can be adapted and used in other careers. You may decide to go into a career area that is legally related such as paralegal or Legal Executive work, law costs, legal research etc. Even if you decide to do something completely different, skills such as essay writing, research, advocacy and debating are all transferable to other graduate jobs.
The majority of employers, outside of specialist areas such as medicine or engineering, do not specify a degree subject when recruiting. They want to hire you because you are a graduate and you bring along the skills gained from studying for any degree.
In order to give you some insight into alternative legal careers, as a starting point,
Careers and Employability has arranged an afternoon of speakers on Wednesday 22 March from 1.30 - 3.30pm in Binks 013.
At 1.30pm there will be a presentation on the CILEX route to qualification as a Legal Executive.
At 2.30pm the University of Law will present on alternative legal careers.
To secure your place please book via Events on CareerHub here
