Law INTRODUCTION
Law at Winchester is taught through skills-based learning. You will learn how to: master a negotiation, conduct a mediation, interview a client effectively and become proficient in legal research.

"I was given the opportunity over the summer after my second year to do a micro-placement, which the University sorted for me. I was in a law firm for a month, which has completely shaped my career path because now I’m going to court with a lot of the lawyers there and I get to shadow them. I’m still in regular contact with a lot of the people from my placement which has opened many doors for me."
