Overseas Trip: Kraków and Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp

Our Law students have, for many years, been offered the opportunity of expanding their knowledge and experience of other cultures and historical sites critical to understanding the development of international law.

Past students visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, known as a symbol of the Holocaust. The events that took place there helped trigger the foundation of international legal enforcement of human rights and laws to prevent and punish the perpetrators of such.

During World War II, over one million people lost their lives there, primarily Jewish, but also Poles, Romanian, and Russians. The site has been preserved, and students participate in a day-long formal guided tour.

Overseas Trip: The Hague

Established in 2002, the International Criminal Court has the jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Often referred to as the World Court, the International Court of Justice is the main judicial organ of the United Nations.

Both courts are visited, with official guides and interactive events with court staff. Additionally, students receive a tour and presentation from the staff at the Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone. Students also have the opportunity on the day of arrival to enjoy the beautiful city of Amsterdam with its canals and museums.

Overseas Trip: Nuremberg

At the end of the Second World War, Nuremberg was the site of the first-ever international war crime trials that helped lay the basis of all modern human rights legislation. The main trial of 24 of the most central participants in the Holocaust took a year to complete.

Students visit the original courtrooms as part of an official guided tour, including interactive workshops and presentations. Nuremberg itself is a beautiful walled medieval city, complete with a castle, and students have a day to enjoy its shops and many attractions.

The Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE)

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) changed its qualification requirements for solicitors last year. The new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) route requires you to pass the SQE 1 and SQE 2, complete the equivalent of two years of qualifying work experience (this can be through a training contract or a placement), as well as meet the character and suitability requirements set by the SRA.

Our LLB Law degree provides you with a good foundation for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) and for those who wish to go on to qualify as a barrister. We will fully support our students who wish to qualify as a solicitor. We can also support you to get Qualifying Work Experience via our placement team and our legal advice clinic.
