The Exeter approach characteristically involves studying law in applied settings, such as community legal projects, advocacy, pro bono work, small learning communities, mooting, or a 4-year work placement program.

Programs most popular with Canadian students include their fast track, two-year Graduate LLB, LLB Law, LLB English Law and French Law/Master 1 (Maîtrise en Droit). Alongside core modules in legal skills, students can also choose from a wide range of vocationally orientated options, from Human Rights Law to Medical Law and Commercial Law.
