Law BA (Hons)<br />
Law BA (Hons) Fact File<br />
Combined Honours Law at <strong>Winchester</strong><br />
is for those students who want to<br />
study law but not necessarily to<br />
become a practising solicitor or<br />
barrister. It allows law to be studied<br />
alongside another subject to produce<br />
a degree that is highly relevant to<br />
employers whilst reflecting the<br />
particular interests <strong>of</strong> the student.<br />
Programme content<br />
Law affects all aspects <strong>of</strong> life and society<br />
and is the mechanism for change employed<br />
by governments across the globe. From<br />
the protection <strong>of</strong> life and liberty, through<br />
corporate law to international relations, the<br />
law is centre stage.<br />
In Year 1 on the Combined Honours<br />
programme, students devote equal time<br />
to the study <strong>of</strong> each chosen subject. After<br />
Year 1, students can transfer to the Law<br />
Single Honours programme or continue<br />
on the Combined programme with Law.<br />
The core subjects required by the Law<br />
Society and Bar Council for those seeking to<br />
