Law with Integrated Foundation Year

Law exists to regulate pretty much everything we do, which is why it remains such a relevant and fascinating subject to study.

Our LLB (Hons) Law with Integrated Foundation Year course provides you with an introductory foundation year that provides you with the academic knowledge and confidence to progress onto a full Law degree.

This four-year course includes an integrated, introductory foundation year that develops your academic skills and confidence, as well as provides you with an overview of core aspects of law that you will build upon in your further years of study.

All our Law courses are suitable for those who have previously studied the subject, but previous study is not required.

The course provides debate, discussion and learning on the seven core areas of knowledge, as you develop your academic and practical skills to prepare for a career within the profession.

We also offer you the unique opportunity to study criminal law in each year of your degree.

We use a variety of assessment methods beyond just traditional exams in order to fully prepare you for your professional career, including mock trials and client interviews.

Our intimate class sizes allow our team of experienced law experts to really get to know you and your needs, so they know how best to support you throughout your degree.

There are many extra-curricular opportunities you can be involved in that could include: pro bono work, mediation, work experience in a law firm or mini pupillage, in addition to participating in mooting competitions, client interviewing competitions, or contributing to the University of Chichester Student Law Review.

We also offer specific support to help prepare you for the first Solicitors’ Qualifying Examination following the completion of your degree.

The initial foundation year develops the academic skills you will need to excel at degree level, as well as provides you with a broad overview of the English legal system, global law, public law, and the law of obligations.
Our LLB (Hons) Law with Integrated Foundation Year degree develops your knowledge and understanding of real-world legal skills in preparation for your progression into the profession.

We use a wide range of assessment methods rather than relying just on exams.

Modules are assessed at every stage of the course, allowing you to clearly see your academic progress.
