Course summary
Our law degree, known as an LLB or Bachelor of Laws, is equivalent to a BA or BSc. If your career aspiration is to be a solicitor or barrister in the UK, this degree will prepare you in part for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) or Bar Practice Course (to qualify as a barrister). You can expect something different to the traditional three year Bachelor of Laws degree when you study our LLB. Over 90% of our lecturers are qualified solicitors, barristers and judges so you will learn to apply law and we focus on teaching you the most relevant and practical skills that employers are looking for. We have designed our LLB to be the first truly professional undergraduate law degree. Studying law is the start to a wide, varied and exciting legal career. It offers more diversity than almost any other profession, whether you want to be a company secretary, a solicitor, a paralegal or a high court judge. It is also one of the best qualifications for going on to succeed in other careers. You can find our graduates working in politics, journalism, business, HR and finance and more all over the world. If you have set your sights on other careers, such as politics, business or journalism, the transferable skills you will learn on your law degree will provide an excellent launch pad for these ambitions and more. With our professionally focused qualification, you can expect to learn practical skills coupled with a focus on your future employability. Our course will also offer flexibility to focus on what interests you, with opportunities to study anything from Business Law to International Law.
