Law (with Foundation Year) LLB (Hons)

About

Law is an inspiring, dynamic and relevant subject. It is always expanding and adapting to absorb new ideas and ask new questions of the past. Studying Law will also help you develop practical skills valued by employers, such as the ability to collect and analyse data and to construct a clear argument.

Our Law (with Foundation Year) option is a four-year course with an integrated foundation year which leads to the same qualification as our three-year honours degree. It has been specifically designed for those wanting to undertake degree-level study but who may not meet the entry requirements or have traditional qualifications.

The Foundation Year (Year 0) offers you the chance to expand and strengthen your confidence, skills and knowledge – ensuring that you are well-prepared and qualified to progress into Year 1 of the undergraduate degree.

Why choose Bangor University for this course?

Supportive study environment with dedicated a moot court room, law library and small classes which enable you to have extensive access to your lecturers.

Career

A Bangor Law degree opens up exciting career paths in law and in many other challenging and rewarding areas where you can make a difference to other people's lives and the planet.

Throughout your studies you’ll acquire the academic knowledge and be introduced to the skills needed to pursue a legal career should you wish to go on to qualify as a solicitor or barrister. You may wish to work in the public sector, for example, as a government lawyer, or in the private sector, perhaps specialising in commercial law, immigration law or criminal law. This degree is recognised by the Bar Council of India.

If you don’t want to practise as a solicitor or barrister, you may still wish to work in an area where your legal training and knowledge would be advantageous and where you can work to make a positive difference. For example, many non-governmental organisations (charities) require people with legal backgrounds to work as policy officers, campaigners and advice workers. International organisations, such as the United Nations and the Council of Europe offer tremendous opportunities to those who are looking for an international career.

As an LLB Law graduate, you will be able to pursue career opportunities in a wide range of other areas, not necessarily connected to the law but for which the general and intellectual skills acquired during a law degree make you extremely well qualified. These may include the civil service, journalism, the media and creative industries, the probation service, the police and the prison service.

During your time at Bangor we work hard to ensure you become aware of the many opportunities that lie ahead of you as a graduate.

The School works closely with the University’s Skills and Employability Service to provide you with essential information to allow you to make key decisions about your future.
The School’s Employability Officer works to assist students in finding work experience, including internships and placements.
If you take the Work Placement module, you will have the chance to experience legal work in a real-life situation.
The Students’ Union has a dedicated Student Volunteering Office which offers many opportunities to work with the local community.
Students have access to the TargetConnect service, where students can find local, national and international employment during and after their studies.
Each student has the opportunity to obtain The Higher Education Achievement Report. The HEAR provides you with a report that itemises your academic achievements as well as any extra and co-curricular achievements and is an invaluable addition to any CV.
