Course summary

Looking to study law and excel in your career? Our LLB Law programme is designed to provide a thorough foundation in English law with a focus on professional development. Our core modules give you a thorough foundation in English law, through the study of tort, trusts, contract law, public law, criminal law, EU law, and land law. In your second year and final year, while still studying some compulsory subjects, you can specialise in the areas of law that interest you with a rich and diverse range of optional modules. Our programme opens doors to a wide variety of professions and organisations, including law firms, barristers’ chambers, consultancies, business advisory services, marketing, civil service, public relations, accountancy, and campaigning. For example, recent graduates have secured positions at Clifford Chance, the Barristers’ Chambers 7 King’s Bench Walk, the London Stock Exchange, PwC and BAE Systems. At our School of Law, we pride ourselves on providing not just academic excellence, but also a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Our law societies cater to a wide range of interests, from pro bono volunteering to placements, offering you the chance to make an impact and build your network. If you're seeking a unique experience, you can apply in your second year to transfer to one of our four-year programmes, which include a year abroad at a partner law school. You could go and study in locations such as Australia, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Africa, New Zealand, Europe or the USA. This experience sets you apart in the job market and makes you highly attractive to employers.
