    Law Senior Status, LLB Hons

    About

    Our law senior status degree is a two-year qualifying course designed for students who already have an undergraduate degree in another subject and a real interest in the law.

    As well as teaching substantive law, this degree explores legal issues from a social, political, moral and economic perspective.

    Much like our other LLB courses, the Senior Status course is geared towards employability. With links to a range of legal and law-related employers in London, as a law student, you'll have access to a range employability events, including talks and networking opportunities. You can also apply to assist volunteer lawyers on real cases at the university's Legal Advice Centre or apply to assist with the Innocence Project London.

    Career

    Careers and placements

    Will I have a work placement?

    You will have the option to select a module for which you will be required to undertake a short-term placement. The module will be assessed on your reflection on this placement and how you can apply your knowledge to the workplace. Many placements are found through our network of industry contacts, and students are supported in securing these.

    How long is my placement?

    Placements are normally one day a week for either one or two terms depending on the number of credits available from the module.

    What are the financial arrangements?

    Placements are usually unpaid.

    What sort of careers do graduates pursue?

    Graduates may choose to go on to undertake the further study and training required in order to qualify to practise as a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales. They can also pursue careers in fields that require graduates with strong analytical and communication skills.

    Greenwich LLB graduates have gone on to become solicitors, advocates and barristers, paralegal and legal assistants, compliance officers and underwriters. They have also pursued careers in teaching and the civil service, the financial sector and NGOs.

    Are internships available?

    Students are encouraged to take up Summer internships during the Summer holidays, though it is up to the student to find them. Support is available to students from the Employability and Careers Service when applying for placements and internships.

    Do you provide employability services?

    Employability activities take place all the time at Greenwich and students are encouraged to take part in as many opportunities as possible. The central Employability and Careers Service provides support for students preparing to apply for placements and graduate roles, such as CV clinics, mock interviews and employability skills workshops. In addition, your School has a dedicated Employability Officer who will be organising work-related activities throughout the year which will help you to build you industry knowledge and networks.
