Modules
We are a leading provider of work placement courses and pioneered the first Law Sandwich degree in 1968. Over the years we have developed strong links with the legal profession and our dedicated Employability team will help you to find a paid placement in a suitable environment. Many of our students find that a work placement helps them to decide what sort of career they want to pursue and provides the experience that future employers are looking for. Successful completion of the placement year will also lead to the award of a Diploma in Professional Practice alongside your degree. While a placement can’t be guaranteed, our Employability team has considerable experience in finding opportunities. You’ll be required to apply for and pass the employers’ selection procedures. If you do not manage to secure a placement you can transfer to the LLB (Hons) Law (full-time) course.

A lower offer may be made based on a range of factors, including your background (such as where you live and the school or college you attended), your experiences and individual circumstances (you may have been in care, for example). This is called a contextual offer and we get data from UCAS to make these decisions. NTU offers a student experience like no other, and this approach helps us to find students who have the potential to succeed here, but may have faced barriers that can make it more difficult to access university.
