UndergraduateCourse summary
Apply your legal learning rather than just focusing on theory with this new LLB Law with Legal Practice degree. For example, when looking at business law you'll apply your learning to the setting up, running and dissolution of a company. This course is specifically tailored to today's legal career pathways, preparing you for your next step as a solicitor or a chartered legal executive. The course is built around the outcomes needed to go on to further study for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE). You'll cover all the foundations of legal knowledge, but you'll be able to demonstrate much more practical experience of dispute resolution, legal drafting and legal practice than on our other law courses. You'll gain 3 months work experience that can count towards your qualifying work experience for the new Solicitors Qualifying Exam by helping real clients in our Legal Advice Clinic. Course highlights
- Gain real-world legal practice skills in legal writing, litigation, advocacy and applied law such as business or property practice
- Help local people solve their legal issues by working in our Legal Advice Clinic, or taking our Community Lawyer module, where you'll work with partners such as the British Red Cross or Citizens Advice
- Get a head start on studying for your SQE exams after graduation through teaching and assessment that's designed with these exams in mind
- Develop professional skills for the legal workplace in our dedicated skills module
- Benefit from teaching that's shaped by expert staff who have been practicing lawyers and who understand how the legal landscape is changing
