At York Law School, our students study in a truly unique way.  Our innovative problem-based learning approach, with students working in tight-knit student law firms, develops their legal understanding in the context of real-world scenarios.  Our students at York acquire both academic and practice-focused skills, through a combination of research-led and legal skills modules.
