LLB (Hons) Law

Course detail
Recognised by the Bar and the Solicitors Regulation Authority as a qualifying law degree, this course takes a practical and contextual approach, to ensure that you maintain an awareness of current issues and developments within the field. It is designed to encourage you to develop skills that are generic as well as legal and to enable you to apply your knowledge in all aspects of your future career.

All our law modules are taught with reference to legal practice and some modules are specifically designed to develop professional skills. There are opportunities to gain legal work experience throughout the course, which includes providing advice to the community at the Law School’s legal advice centre, marshalling with judges and shadowing key lawyers.

Work placements are an important part of the course. In the third year, you will be encouraged to undertake legal work experience as part of your studies and, in the final year, you will again be encouraged to gain hands-on experience either at various agencies, for example the Citizens Advice Bureau, the Free Representation Unit, or with the Community Advice Programme (the Law School’s advice centre in Ealing). This will give you the chance to put your academic studies into context within a professional work environment.
