Course summary

LLB Law offers a distinctive approach to legal education from a globally recognised institution that brings together research-informed study and practice-led approaches to law. You will study the foundations of law in England and Wales, as well as your specific interests by choosing from a broad range of optional units offered by our diverse team of academics and practitioners. You will be challenged to analyse and critique the law, and understand the social, economic, ethical and political contexts in which it operates. The course enables you to develop the skills, knowledge and experience to be highly employable, and gives you the confidence to forge your own professional development beyond undergraduate study, whether you have ambitions to practise law or enter a different field of work. Our Justice Hub is a centre for excellence in clinical legal education and offers free legal advice to members of the public. Volunteering here gives you the opportunity to contribute to our partnerships with the public, charitable and private sectors and play your part in our commitment to social responsibility. Learning through reflection and collaboration, and applying your studies in practice, you can help contribute towards access to justice for some of the most vulnerable, marginalised and disadvantaged in society. Studying at one of the UK's most globally connected universities means you gain a global perspective on law, reflected in our teaching and your experience as a member of our academic community.
