Graduate Entry Law LLB

Achieve a qualifying law degree as a non-law graduate in just two years rather than the regular three with our fast-track Graduate Entry LLB programme and take your first step towards a legal career. You can choose from a range of specialist electives and take work placements during the summer.

This programme covers the foundational principles of law, introducing you to core legal subjects such as contract law, tort law, criminal law, public law, and more. The curriculum is condensed but comprehensive.

Alongside fundamental legal knowledge, you will develop essential legal skills such as legal research, analysis, problem-solving and advocacy.

After successfully completing the GE LLB (Hons), you can progress to the next stage of legal training, which typically will be the Solicitors’ Practice Programme (SPP) for aspiring solicitors or the Bar Vocational Studies (BVS) for aspiring barristers.

Law conversion courses are an excellent option if you have an interest in law and wish to transition into the legal profession. You can pursue further study through an LLM at City St George’s, another UK university, or a university that meets the requirements of your intended country of practice. Graduates have also gone on to careers in business, finance, banking, and the civil service.

We offer you the chance to participate in mooting competitions which can further hone your analytical and advocay skills, that are valued by employers. You can also gain valuable experience working with real-clients and go on work placements via our LawIRL programme.

Our range of extracurricular activities include mooting and client interviewing, while The City Law School also runs a pro bono programme. We hold a fair at the beginning of the year to show you the options.

After graduating from this programme, you can advance towards qualification as a practising lawyer.
