LLB (Hons)
Why study this course?
With an impressive list of alumni practising law at the highest levels, this Single
Honours programme is recognised as a qualifying law degree that will enable you
to train as a solictor or barrister after graduation.
Our law degree examines law in its social, political, ethical, historical
and international contexts. You’ll explore core legal subjects such as
crime, torts, contract, land, equity and public law, developing your
understanding of the rules which structure relationships between
governments and citizens, and between private individuals.
You’ll study principles and doctrines of English and European and
International law and have plenty of opportunities to develop your
practical skills. You can take part in mooting (practising oral arguments),
client interviewing, and could volunteer as a Community Legal
Companion, within the innovative CLOCK programme.
What will this mean for my future?
The Single Honours law programme is accredited by the Solicitors
Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board as a ‘qualifying law
degree’ and thus satisfies the current academic stage of legal professional
qualification.
Your degree will also be of value in many other careers. After further
study or training you might work as a company secretary, chartered
accountant, tax advisor or in business. You might also work in the police
service or pursue a career with a charity or in international relations.
