LLB Law (Weekend Full-Time)

Our law degree, known as an LLB or Bachelor of Laws, is equivalent to a BA or BSc. If your career aspiration is to be a solicitor or barrister in the UK, this degree will prepare you in part for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) or Bar Practice Course (to qualify as a barrister). Our legally experienced lecturers bring the law to life through interactive teaching methods for a fulfilling learning experience.

If you have set your sights on other careers, such as politics, business or journalism, the transferable skills you will learn on your law degree will provide an excellent launch pad for these ambitions and more. With our professionally focused qualification, you can expect to learn practical skills coupled with a focus on your future employability.

Throughout your studies, you'll receive guidance from our lecturing team to help unlock your future ambitions. When it comes to selecting your Options subjects, you'll be able to choose from one of three Pathways where the modules will prepare you for the following routes:

• SQE/CILEX - aimed at those looking to qualify as a solicitor or CILEX lawyer

• Business - ideal if you have aspirations to work with commercial clients, as an in-house lawyer or in a commercial career outside law

• Individual - for those interested in working with individual clients, working in the criminal justice sector or who are looking to qualify as a barrister

Our full-time LLB Law (Hons) Weekend gives you the freedom to study for a law degree around some of your existing commitments. You’ll attend small-group workshops on Saturdays, supported by weekly recorded lectures and structured independent learning. This mode is ideal for those balancing part-time work, caring responsibilities or a commute, while still benefiting from the same academic quality, career support and employability opportunities as all our weekday students. A consistent weekly timetable means you can plan with confidence and progress towards your career goals in a way that works for you.

• The highest standard of teaching from experienced professionals
• Small class sizes
• Options to study on campus and online
• A choice of campuses across the UK
