Law (with a Foundation Year)

LLB (Hons) Law is compliant with the QAA subject benchmark for Law. All our Law degrees and pathways enable students to proceed to the next stage of training to qualify as a Barrister or Solicitor. The LLB includes the foundation legal subjects which meet the requirements of the Academic Component of becoming a Barrister. Our Law degree offers innovative, exciting challenges and provides opportunities to enter a wide range of law-related roles.
From the opportunity to take part in mock trials to student conferences, the unique feature of this award is its student-centred, problem-based approach to learning. You’ll be offered a supportive, guided environment to practise skills for careers in the legal sector and to create awareness of the roles of law and lawyers in society.
Aspiring advocates can choose to specialise in courtroom skills on our Bar Pathway, while potential solicitors can develop client facing skills through mediation and giving advice in our Law Clinic, with our Legal Professional Pathway. The Digital Pathway is ideal for exploring the impact on law of cutting-edge technologies. Or if you want maximum flexibility you can pursue your individual academic interests from a range of exciting options within and beyond Law.
The Foundation year programme is designed for students who may not have the necessary academic profile for entry onto the 2 or 3 year degree courses. We recognise that some of our applicants may also have been out of formal education for a while or feel they may need to enhance their skills and capabilities first. The Foundation Year is a bespoke study route tailored for you.
On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: LLB (Hons) Law, LLB (Hons) Law (Bar), LLB (Hons) Law (Professional), or LLB (Hons) Law (Digital).
