Develop your understanding of UK law and the legal system with our LLB (Hons) Law degree.
You’ll explore the foundations of law as a discipline, build key legal skills such as client interviewing and negotiation, and gain a wide but detailed knowledge of UK law topics.
You’ll take part in live community projects to apply your learning as you study, and have the chance to practise your legal skills in our replica courtroom - where you’ll experience what advocacy can be like in a real crown court, with hidden recording equipment so you can review your performance afterwards.
If you take a paid industry placement after your second or third year, you’ll spend a year working in the legal profession or a quasi-legal environment, such as the Bank of England. This experience, alongside department insight days with Law firms and University networking events with guest speakers, means you’ll finish your course with connections in the legal industry.
With transferable skills and practical work experience that you can apply to multiple sectors, you’ll graduate ready to enter a range of jobs with your law degree.
