Course Overview

You can broaden your perspective with an optional year studying overseas or make a difference by giving free legal advice to real clients and communities through our Pro-Bono group. In addition, we will encourage you to build practical skills through our award-winning extracurricular activities.

The Law LLB is the traditional route into the legal profession and allows you to explore the areas of law that most interest you with a wide variety of optional modules. It is an excellent stepping-stone to graduate-level employment as a thought-provoking and challenging subject, giving you legal knowledge and transferable skills such as reasoning, research, and problem-solving. Your study will take a variety of approaches, including problem-solving, analysis of cases and statutes, and examining the role of law within its social, economic, and political context. The foundation subjects you will study are recognized by the Bar Standards Board and essential for future qualification as a solicitor through the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s approved qualification routes.

Throughout the course, you will study the core branches of law with the freedom to choose your modules from a broad list of specialist areas. This will broaden your understanding of the legal system and help you make an informed decision about which area of law you wish to pursue after graduation.

As you understand the legal system, you will refine your thought processes and become well-practiced in adapting your problem-solving skills to real-life scenarios.
