Course summary
Develop your legal skills and knowledge – and build valuable, real-life experience – with our highly practical LLB Law with International Foundation Year degree. Study law at a British university on our four-year LLB Law with International Foundation Year programme. This programme is designed for international students, and will prepare and enable you to undertake an undergraduate law degree if you don't currently hold the correct qualifications. Known as Year 0, the foundation year is designed to equip you with law-specific and general study skills to help you cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is focused on the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. Upon the successful completion of Year 0, including a module in law, you will progress onto our accredited three-year LLB Law programme, where you'll develop your legal knowledge and gain real-life experience.
