Course summary

This LLB (Hons) Law with Sociology degree gives you the opportunity to understand the relationship between these two interconnected disciplines. Gain expertise in core legal subjects and key sociological concepts and theories. A springboard to a legal career and much more, you’ll graduate with a Law degree which meets the academic requirements for qualification as a barrister (Bar Standards Board compliant), but also provides essential knowledge for students aspiring to be solicitors. You can choose vocational subjects tested in the Solicitors’ Qualifying Examinations (SQE) providing you with a gateway to professional training to become a solicitor. Almost every aspect of social life can be subject to legal regulation – from ensuring basic services like housing and immigration are provided effectively and equitably, to preventing racial and other forms of discrimination. On this Law with Sociology degree, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the contemporary issues and social forces that shape our lives and the law. At Bangor University, we bring the study of law to life. Take part in mock trials, internal moots and benefit from an annual University careers fair. This degree develops practical competencies valued by employers within and outside the legal profession: research and diagnostic skills, an analytical mind, ability to listen, form sound arguments, read and quickly process complex information. ‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch. If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you.
