**Applied learning - Work placements**
Our on-campus legal firm SHU Law operates within our award-winning Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice. You'll engage in live client work in a variety of different practice areas within the law firm, such as commercial, property and litigation. Being part of a dynamic professional legal services team – providing advice, assistance and representation at court – will give you exposure to live client-led legal practice activity. This will prepare you to work in the context of legal practice.
**Live projects**
You'll apply your academic studies on a range of exciting live projects and work placements, conducted in small groups under the supervision of qualified solicitors and paralegals. Through professional work-based learning modules delivered within SHU Law, you'll develop the ability to apply law in a real-world context, enabling you to understand the role of law in practice.
