About

Course overview

The Law LLB (Hons) course examines the law’s role in a range of contemporary issues, highlighting the need to maintain social responsibility and ethical behaviour.

You will have the chance to:

acquire knowledge and understanding of the foundations of legal knowledge, legal doctrines, concepts, principles, rules and values in the core areas of law
develop an appreciation of the context in which law operates, and an understanding of the dynamic nature of law, its uncertainty, the need for reform and proposals for such reform
develop the ability to apply the legal knowledge and skills acquired to both the theory and practice of law.

The January start for this course is condensed in Year 1. Please see the ‘How you’ll learn’ section below for more details.

Why you should study this course

You will have opportunities² to:

apply to volunteer in the Employment Law Clinic, Advocacy Clinic or Business Law and Enterprise Clinic at the Coventry Law Centre. Selected students can gain practical legal experience under the supervision of trained solicitors and lawyers²
get hands-on and immerse yourself in the law by exploring legal topics in our courtroom², known as the ‘Moot Room’
engage with students at other international universities through our Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) projects²
build your legal networks - get to know members of the legal industry through our 'Raising the Bar' scheme
submit your legal writing to be considered for publication, alongside expert legal academics and professionals.

If you choose to start this course in January you will study exactly the same course but over a slightly shorter timescale in Year 1. This is ideal if you missed the September start, want to transfer from a different university or course or just need a bit more time to prepare for life at university.
