Law Llb (Hons)

Descripción

We offer a diverse and practise-based LLB Law course, which enables you to take the first step to becoming a solicitor or barrister, as well as being a foundation for numerous other careers.

This course has been designed to align with the subject you will need to study further to prepare for the Solicitors Qualification Examination (SQE), while also meeting the requirements of the Bar Standards Board for an undergraduate degree.

What's covered in this course?

Employability has been embedded throughout the degree to support your career aspirations. At the heart of this is our Law Clinic, which offers you the ability to engage with a whole range of real-world briefs and clients in multiple areas of Law, including Immigration Law and Welfare Clinics, while you study. Placement modules and volunteer opportunities are also a key part of the course to expose you to the real world of the Law.

The Law is wide and varied, and so is our course. While you will follow a set programme of study during your first year, you will have flexibility in your second and final year to pursue optional modules and customise your degree to align with your interests and future career ambitions. We support you by suggesting routes you could select from, including Criminal Justice, Commercial Law, and subjects commonly used by a ‘high street lawyer’, which can help you to focus on developing skills, knowledge and understanding in the areas most closely aligned to your career aspirations. Among these are a wide range of module options at Levels 5 and 6, allowing you to approach your degree with flexibility and personalisation.

Creating an excellent learning experience is our priority. We concentrate on delivering outstanding teaching from staff who are experienced in either research or practice, so that you receive a ‘hands on’ approach to become confident, creative, resilient and responsible as you progress towards your preferred career.

Enhancing employability skills

Key employability skills are embedded within the learning and teaching, and we will provide you with additional careers development through our guest speakers, and pro bono and placement opportunities.

Our Student Law Society also provides you with the chance to interact and work with other students on legal pursuits, career enhancement and social activities, offering you support and helping you build your employability skills.

We also have our dedicated Careers Service, which provides a wide range of online and face-to-face services to help you develop your employability skills, plan your career and access the latest job opportunities.
