First degree courses in law all follow a similar pattern and consist of both compulsory and optional subjects. Compulsory subjects cover legal principles, e.g. Contract, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Land Law, Tort and Equity. Optional subjects, however, cover a very wide field and, for example, at Newcastle University include Civil Liberties, Consumer Protection, Environmental Law, European Community Law, Insurance and Partnership, and Public International Law.

The following universities, polytechnics and colleges offer degree courses in Law (NB Scottish institutions offer Scottish Law). It should be noted that for courses in law combined with other subjects only a small number of places are usually available.


In the near future all polytechnics will be permitted to call themselves 'universities', thus many name changes will therefore take place and readers should be prepared to acquaint themselves with the new names as they become official. The polytechnic title, however, will be retained on applications being submitted from September to December 1992.
