LLB (Hons) LAW (MAIN PATHWAY)

On the case

Our professional practice-focused LLB Law course will give you a thorough grounding in the law across all the major disciplines and the opportunity to develop your career and professional skills at the same time.

As well as developing in-depth legal knowledge and academic skills, there is a strong emphasis on experiential learning and legal education for professional practice and the enhancement of professional career prospects.

Our graduates have gone onto careers working for Burberry, 5G communications and A-Plan Insurance working as advisors, consultants and paralegals.

Breaking ground as the first and only Law School in the UK to introduce a clinic guarantee, we offer opportunities for all undergraduate students to undertake a work placement, internship, or work experience, including in our Legal Advice Clinic, during our core Working in the Law Module.

We also offer professional practice and skills options that allow students to develop their professional skills and special interests in selected practice areas, including Civil Litigation, Commercial Law, and Criminal Litigation.

The course is the first step on the journey to becoming a Solicitor, Barrister or Chartered Legal Executive, as well as the foundation for a broad range of other professional careers.

It is designed to give students a “Head Start” on professional qualification, particularly for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination with its focus on knowledge of the law, professional procedure and skills.

As part of our assessment strategy, we use a broad range of assessments, including professional examination-style multiple-choice questions, so our students have an opportunity to practise and prepare for them in advance.

In this course, you can choose to follow a specific pathway.

The pathways options are set out at these links:

1. LLB Law (NEW Law Main Pathway) (5780.1FS00)
