Graduate with a professionally recognised LLB while exploring how law interacts with society, culture, inequality, and social change.
The LLB (Hons) Law with Sociology gives a valuable insight into the sociological aspects in which society and legal professionals operate. Explore the invisible forces that shape our world - sociology uncovers how groups, cultures, and institutions influence human behaviour, making this degree ideal for those curious about people and power. Our degree gives you the option to pursue a career as a solicitor or barrister, whilst opening up options in teaching, community and social work, non-profit organisations or policy development.
Alongside the seven foundational subjects required for professional legal training, you’ll get applied sociological insight in areas like global social and political issues, power structures in society, and bridging cultures. With optional modules you’ll be able to tailor your degree to your interests as you broaden your knowledge and expertise. These could include delving into global feminism, woke wars or looking at social mobility and migration.
You’ll develop critical thinking, communication, and personal development skills whilst being taught by legal professionals and experienced academics. On graduating, you’ll hold a qualifying law degree and a dual understanding of legal reasoning and sociology.
