Course summary

Our LLB Law degree develops your practical and professional skills alongside your knowledge of legal theory.

  • Put the legal knowledge you gin on this course into practice while you develop career-enhancing skills.
  • Our Law degree is designed to prepare you for a wide range of careers, both within and beyond the legal sector.
  • This LLB Law meets the requirements of the Bar Standards Board and prepares you for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam.
Designed to help you attain many of the skills required to complete the practice elements of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), LLB (Hons) Law at Bath Spa develops your legal knowledge, research and professional skills. This innovative, qualifying Law degree is informed by the new regulatory framework for the training of solicitors and barristers, and meets the requirements of the Bar Standards Board. Gain a broad understanding of legal systems and criminal law. You'll expand your knowledge to topics such as international law, media and entertainment law, and cybercrime. In your final year, you’ll hone your practice skills in The Bath Law Clinic, which is a collaboration between Bath Spa University, Stone King LLP and the Citizens Advice Bureau, or undertake a law research project. Learn how to be a lawyer in practice and understand the business of law, so that you can hit the ground running when you graduate. We recognise that many Law students don’t pursue a career in law and have built career planning into each strand of the course, with a focus on the growing number of roles that require related skill-sets. These include roles in governance, risk management, advocacy, public policy, HR and finance.
