About this course

Learn from dedicated tutors with extensive knowledge and experience of the practice and teaching of law to construct arguments, think critically, and challenge policy alongside gaining an insight and context in how law is passed and why.

During the foundation year, you’ll gain the academic and practical experience you need to help you get the most out of your degree and the subject-specific modules will give you a strong introduction of what you’ll learn.

Skills

Studying for our LLB (Hons) Law with Politics degree will give you a wide range of transferable skills, setting you up for success in any profession. You’ll learn how to construct a winning argument, reason critically, think on your feet and write with precision and clarity.

Politics is a central element of human society, where our most pressing issues and concerns are addressed. Through political processes, institutions and ideas, complex, diverse modern cultures identify, share and contest values and make decisions about rules to live by and about how goods will be distributed nationally and internationally.

Alongside your legal training, you’ll gain a sound grounding in the academic tradition of politics.

You’ll also have opportunities to work with our partners across London and beyond, and to attend a Roehampton jobs fair where you can find out about graduate opportunities and meet employers.
