Discover Law
What is Discover Law?
Discover Law is a two year programme of events created by the University of Sheffield for Year 12 students in local schools and colleges. If you are interested in finding out more about studying law at University, Discover Law will give you the chance to experience what it´s like. We will provide lots of opportunities for you to explore the study of law and for you to learn about university life from our current law undergraduates. Many of them have come through a similar programme and were in your shoes a few years ago.
You get the chance to
- Meet other South Yorkshire pupils with similar interests
- To experience real life cases in one of the Sheffield Law Courts and talk to a Judge
- Visit the university and get a guided tour from one of our current law undergraduates.
- Meet working professionals and ask them how they got where they are at our Discovering Law Conference
- Attend Revision and Exam Techniques sessions as well as Academic Study Skills sessions to help with the transition to university
- Get advice about applying to university
- Experience law taster sessions and team building activities
How often do I need to attend?
We´ve planned the events so that you don´t need to be away from school or college for more than one or two days each term. Some activities, especially visits to other organisations, may take place during your school holidays. We expect you to attend all the events.
Do I have to pay to take part?
No, the Discover Law programme is completely free.
