Course summary

Achieve a senior status law degree as a non-law graduate in just two years rather than the regular three with our fast-track Graduate Entry LLB programme. This course is for graduates who have a proven academic track record and wish to gain a qualification in law either for legal professional purposes or to advance their careers in law-related fields. If you intend to practise law in the UK, the GE LLB Programme offers you the possibility of obtaining an exemption from the academic stage of training over two years instead of the three-year LLB programme. The course attracts many international students, particularly Canadians who, once they graduate, are well on the way to satisfying the Canadian NCA requirements. The Graduate Entry LLB enables you to:

  • Gain skills and knowledge in the core legal subjects
  • Achieve an LLB law degree in just two years rather than the usual three
  • Learning about specialist areas of law
  • Participate in mooting competitions (optional) to further strengthen your legal and debating skills
  • After graduating from this programme, you can advance towards qualification as a practising lawyer. In the UK that means taking either the Solicitors’ Practice Programme (SPP) to qualify as a solicitor or taking Bar Vocational Studies (BVS) to become a barrister. If you intend to practise in Canada, you have to take examinations set by the National Committee on Accreditation.

Modules

Assessment method

You will be assessed through written coursework, portfolios, multiple choice question tests, oral and written examinations, as well as project work and team activities. You will learn core subjects as part of the Graduate Entry LLB cohort and elective modules in your second year with LLB third year students. We will instruct you in the use of legal materials, legal writing, mooting and legal research. In your second year you choose six subjects from an extensive list, according to your own personal interests. You can also write a 10,000-word dissertation instead of two of the taught electives Our range of extracurricular activities include mooting and client interviewing, while The City Law School also runs a pro bono programme. We hold a fair at the beginning of the year to show you the options. After graduating from this programme, you can advance towards qualification as a practising lawyer.
