Overview

We encourage you to get involved with our Careers and Development Programme. The Law degree course delivered by the University of York includes several employers, providing an insight into the legal profession and the relevant recruitment processes.

Key Facts:

Graduates of law in the 21st century need more than a thorough knowledge of legal rules.
Legal practitioners are involved in the design and delivery of key aspects of all our programmes. You'll benefit from our international outlook, interdisciplinary approach and research and learn from academics whose research is making a real impact in their field.
Throughout your time at York, you will receive active support in careers and development planning from the York Law School employability tutor.
There is also help available for those of you who are thinking about non-legal employers or academic routes following your LLM.

Many graduates pursue careers such as:

Lawyer
Litigation Paralegal Solicitor
Commercial in-house lawyer
Attorney-at-law

Some of our students also go on to work in sectors not directly related to law such as:

Finance
Health and Social Work
Public Administration
Retail
