LLB Law offers a distinctive approach to legal education from a globally recognised institution that brings together research-informed study and practice-led approaches to law.

You will study the foundations of law in England and Wales, as well as your specific interests by choosing from a broad range of optional units offered by our diverse team of academics and practitioners. You will be challenged to analyse and critique the law, and understand the social, economic, ethical and political contexts in which it operates.

The course enables you to develop the skills, knowledge and experience to be highly employable, and gives you the confidence to forge your own professional development beyond undergraduate study, whether you have ambitions to practise law or enter a different field of work.

Our Justice Hub is a centre for excellence in clinical legal education and offers free legal advice to members of the public. Volunteering here gives you the opportunity to contribute to our partnerships with the public, charitable and private sectors and play your part in our commitment to social responsibility.

Learning through reflection and collaboration, and applying your studies in practice, you can help contribute towards access to justice for some of the most vulnerable, marginalised and disadvantaged in society.

Studying at one of the UK's most globally connected universities means you gain a global perspective on law, reflected in our teaching and your experience as a member of our academic community.

All applicants to the University (from the UK and Overseas) are required to show evidence of English Language proficiency. The minimum English Language requirement for this course is either:

• IELTS 7 with a minimum 6.5 in each subtest or equivalent
• An acceptable equivalent qualification.

Please note that if you hold English as a second language iGCSE qualification, we may also require you to offer one of our acceptable equivalent English Language qualifications or achieve a higher grade in your iGCSE than the one stated above. Please contact the academic School for clarification.

The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires that every student from outside the UK and the EU must show evidence of a minimum level of English Language in order to be granted a UK visa (Tier 4 visa) to study at undergraduate or postgraduate level. This level is often referred to as the 'B2 level'.

Additionally, our individual Schools may ask for specific English Language proficiency levels that are necessary for their academic programmes. In most cases these requirements are likely to be higher than the B2 level.
