Former Course Lead, Chris Smith, introduces Law at York St John University.
Course overview
At York St John Law School, and across the University, our research and teaching is led by principles of social justice. This means we will encourage you to critique and question the law according to principles of equality and fairness. This will help you to develop as an independent and ethical professional as you become aware of the cultural and social contexts. You will be able to give back to your local community through your career. Graduates of these courses will be eligible to progress on to the Solicitors Qualifying Examination for aspiring solicitors and, subject to attainment, the BPTC for aspiring barristers.
Law graduates are known for their ability to think critically, analyse information and solve problems. You will develop a wide range of valuable transferable skills including teamwork, letter writing, practical research and communication skills in a variety of contexts. Our courses have been designed to prepare you to succeed in the modern, digital workplace no matter what your future ambitions.
Our courses cover the crucial areas of law, while also giving you options to choose modules which suit your interests and aspirations. The first two years of study are the same across each of our courses as we introduce you to the core knowledge and skills which will underpin your chosen areas of specialism as you progress through your studies.
For course queries, please contact our current Course Lead, Robert Hargreaves.

Benjamin Law
The course has allowed me to question the very nature of what is legal and what isn't and how it conflicts with reason. It also has taught me the real world application that I will take forward. YSJ has prepared me for my future as they have given me the chance to find out what I really want out of life. They have shown me that any prospect is feasible if I work hard enough.
Hannah Law
I have loved every minute of my time here, after transferring in my second year I immediately knew I had made the right decision. I have made so many friends and met some amazing people, I could not have chosen a better university. I am looking forward to carrying out my postgraduate studies here as there is a real sense of community. I feel proud to be able to attend this university as a third generation family member.
Timothy Law
The highlight of my time at York St John University has been working with clients on real life cases. This has allowed me to use my knowledge I've gained and put it to practical use, it has also provided me with valuable work experience and an opportunity to give back to the community. The LLB course is preparing me for the future by providing me with valuable work experience that cannot be found elsewhere.
Jade Law
The amount of support from all of the York St John University lecturers is unbelievable. Nothing is too much trouble, and if you put in the work they will do everything they can to support you and give back as much as possible. All of the teaching classes are small, so the lecturers know their student's personally and can tailor sessions to suit everyone's individual needs.
George Law
A highlight for me has been the trip down to London with my course friends and lecturers. Being able to see the Old Bailey and the palace of Westminster brought what we had been learning about into reality. The course content is something that stood out to me at York St John when deciding what university to study. At YSJ on the law course, the optional modules in second and third year are really interesting and are going to provide me with a very strong basis of multiple different areas of the law when going on into practice.
Kate Law
I am a mature student and have not been to university before, so the experience is entirely new to me. I was worried that being out of education for so long I would struggle with assignments and exams. However, I have worked so hard and I have surprised myself at what I have been able to achieve. Being a student at York St John University has taught me to think in a different way and to believe in myself and my potential. In essence my highlight has been seeing myself grow both academically and as a person. The tutors on the course all have an abundance of industry experience and share this with us in many ways and are all happy to help with C.V's and practical advice either for study or work.
Kai Law
A highlight of my time at York St John University is achieving a good work-life-study balance. This has created a perfect balance whilst at York St John University because I have had enough time to focus on my degree, with the availability to seek enjoyment. I think one of the main reason for this is the fact that York St John University is situated close to the centre of York. Even though the campus is small, it has everything you need. There is not a single highlight of my time at York St John University, but a collection of reason why I enjoy my time here so thoroughly.
