法律与社会是关于法律与社会制度如何相互联系的研究
Law and Society is the study of how legal and social systems are interconnected, how people live, and how law is woven into communities. This program will give you an understanding of what happens when legal innovations and institutions succeed, and what the outcomes are when they fail. During the course of your studies, you'll gain statistical analysis skills, research capabilities, written and verbal communication skills, and a broad appreciation of socio-political movements. The program in Law and Society is designed to provide a broad exposure to the nature of law and its role in society. The overall aim of the program is not only to provide students with a deep understanding of the law but also to demonstrate that the law is not an isolated discipline but is a part of an integrated culture of which we all partake. The program is not specifically a pre-law program. Nevertheless, the perspectives that it offers are likely to be of great benefit to those who hope to be lawyers, as well as to those considering a career in politics, the civil service, law enforcement, the social sciences, business and industry, or public-interest advocacy.<br><br>Career opportunities<br>As a Law and Society graduate, you'll be prepared for career opportunities in areas such as the civil service, the non-profit sector, and the business world.
