Courses

B.A.

The undergraduate law course at Cambridge is intended to give a thorough grounding in the principles of law viewed from an academic rather than a vocational perspective. The emphasis is on principle and technique, reasoning and explanation. There are opportunities to study the history of law, and to consider the subject in its wider social context. Although most undergraduates who read law do so with the intention of practising, the course also provides an excellent broad education for those who do not.
