People, power and problem solving. A law degree is a fantastic opportunity to study human relationships, investigate complex problems and understand the diverse structures that keep us functioning as a modern, evolving society. It’s a qualification that opens doors into a huge range of careers, giving you a deep, sought-after knowledge of the way our legal world works today.

Right from the start you will have a two-week connections module to develop the skills and mindset required for studying law successfully.

You’ll spend your first year building a really strong foundation of legal knowledge – and developing professional skills you’ll use throughout your law degree and beyond. Together we’ll explore Contract Law, Tort Actions, Justice Matters and Constitutional Principles of the UK and EU. Plus our new employability module that brings employability into the core of the LLB, Life in the Law. Right from the start of your degree you'll be assessed in our replica Crown Court as you present client arguments in front of a judge.

In your second year, you’ll explore Land Law, Criminal Law, Equity and the Law of Trusts and Life in the Law II: Career and Personal Development. You’ll experience our mock assessment centre to develop real-world, professional skills in a supportive environment. You’ll start making choices about specialisms, by undertaking a 15-credit module of your choice from Commercial law, Streetlaw, Practical Legal Skills (an introduction to SQE 2 skills), Law of Digital Economy, or Law of Local Government

You’ll also have the exciting opportunity to get involved in our award-winning pro bono and law clinic. This allows you to develop your skills while providing legal advice to people in our local community.

Work placement/study abroad option: Like some real-life experience? Between your second and third years, you’ve got a chance to go on a legal work placement for up to a year and build your experience.

The LLB (Hons) Law covers the seven foundations of legal knowledge required by the Bar Standards Board (for barristers) for entry onto the professional course. The LLB (Hons) is also recognised as a qualifying law degree for the purposes of the Solicitors Regulation Authority (for solicitors).

The LLB Programme has also received an Institutional Exemption from the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx’s) level 6 qualifications. Students enrolled upon and successfully completing the LLB (including completion of the following modules: Land Law, Company Law and Litigation) will be eligible to apply for exemptions from the following CILEx qualifications:

CILEX Level 6 Diploma in Law and Practice
CILEx Graduate Fast Track Diploma (CILEx Level 6 Diploma in Legal Practice)
