Course summary

This programme gives our students the opportunity to study the foundational subjects of law whilst pursuing a range of optional modules to suit your interests and goals. The first year of the LLB Law (Hons) programme is comprised of compulsory modules that advance the techniques of successful legal study in foundational areas of law. In the second and third years, further compulsory modules are undertaken alongside optional modules such as Employment Law and the Law of Terrorism.

The range of optional modules enable you to select the route through the programme which best suits you — whether that is directed towards the legal profession, one of the many other careers open to law graduates, or just personal or academic interest.

Throughout this legal practice degree, there are also opportunities to engage in mooting, mock trials, presentation activities, ‘practical’ legal problem solving and legal research.

Our LLB degree will provide you with an excellent learning experience - working with a small cohort of students and academics who know you by name within a student-centred environment. York St John Law School also has excellent links with local legal practitioners. As well as your formal learning classes, there are a range of law-related extra-curricular activities for you to get involved in, such as the student law society, debating and mooting.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

For all UK applicants, we look at six factors:
• Where you live
• Your school or college
• Age
• Disability
• First in family to study in HE
• Time in care
These six factors create a point score, which is then taken into account, along with standard criteria. The points don’t influence whether an offer is made but can influence the type of offer made, resulting in reduced or unconditional offers.
Full information is on our website, including scheme adaptations for individual courses.
