Course Overview

Combining an intellectually challenging curriculum with an industry focus, our LLB Law course provides you with an understanding of the key concepts of law while preparing you for a high level legal career.

Our goal is to prepare you for a fulfilling life and professional career. Along the way, you’ll learn to be curious, adaptable and confident, ready to meet the digital, ethical and sustainability challenges of the 21st century.

Preparing students for career success is our priority. Modules are designed around the current and future needs of employers and the legal profession; in particular, we have built into your learning an understanding of how changing technology and artificial intelligence is influencing the law. We place great emphasis on the development of your professional skills, providing you with the opportunity to shadow working lawyers and judges, practise your learning during a one year work placement and develop your client care skills by helping the local community as they look for support from our legal advice schemes.

Extracurricular activities, including mooting and trips, are organised by our student-led Law Society, complementing your studies and enhancing your student experience. Through initiatives like the SILKS law clinics, you’ll have the chance to offer Family and Housing Law support to people in the region, allowing you to practise what you’ve learned while providing help for vulnerable people in the community.

You will:

• Earn a law degree recognised by the Bar Standards Board and the Solicitors Regulation Authority

• Gain an excellent foundation of skills and knowledge for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam, if this is your career ambition
