Course summary
Begin your career by embarking on our Law (LLB) degree and explore all aspects of the legal system from a practical professional basis to a wider social and theoretical setting. This degree is the gateway to professional training to become a solicitor, barrister or legal executive, as well as a highly respected discipline for entry into a number of other careers. Gain a rich understanding of key concepts in your first year of study, and experience our Work Based Learning module in Year 2. Final year students have the opportunity to focus their studies on areas of Law that particularly interest them, developing skills within their chosen specialist modules. We have strong links with local legal professionals and the wider community to enhance our course, and our team is made up of former practitioners and nationally recognised academic lawyers. Join the Student Law Society, gain an insight into law in the real world by volunteering with the Department’s Legal Advice Clinic, or get involved with Chester Community Law Project, the Law School’s student-led outreach programme which enables volunteers to use their legal knowledge to benefit our local community. Specialist opportunities such as guest lecturers and an array of co-curricular outreach, pro bono (free legal advice) and mooting opportunities, can enhance your skillset and transform you into a Law graduate that stands out from the crowd.
