Course summary

Raise the bar on your future and develop the mindset of a lawyer.

Our LLB Law degree provides the foundational legal knowledge, recommended by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB), essential for a career in law and prepares you for the next stages in your legal training if you aspire to become a solicitor or barrister.

Studying law is an intellectually exciting and stimulating experience. Law affects every part of our daily lives, and our degree encourages you to develop an inquisitive and critical approach. You will learn to think rationally, communicate succinctly and be able to construct persuasive arguments.

With employability embedded throughout the course, you won’t just know the law inside out, you’ll learn how to use it effectively in practical and professional settings. From mooting, work placements and advocacy to law clinic work experience and client interviewing, we’ll equip you with hands-on transferable skills for a legal career. You’ll also have the option to gain real-world experience with a year in industry before completing your studies.

Put legal theory into practice in our purpose-built moot courtroom and be supported to enhance your skills in collaboration, effective communication, legal research, and public speaking. Taught through a global lens, you’ll learn why legal professionals must understand the impact law has on advancing climate change, sustainability and tackling environmental challenges to protect the wellbeing of future generations.

You will emerge with the mindset of a lawyer ready to work efficiently, responsibly and innovatively in a variety of careers or take the next steps in professional training to become a solicitor or barrister.

We offer this degree with two study options. You can choose three years full-time or four years full-time which would include a one-year industry placement between years two and three that will give you hands-on experience in a real-life working environment. This year in industry gives you practical skills that many employers seek, giving you a competitive edge upon graduation.
