Course Summary

Do you want to develop and apply your critical thinking and analytical skills in a legal context? Are you excited about the impact you could make in the legal profession? Start your journey to becoming a barrister or solicitor with our LLB Law degree, covering subjects including the English Legal System, Public Law, Contract Law and Criminal Law. The LLB (Bachelor of Laws) degree is an internationally recognised and valued qualification. This course gives you an excellent grounding in aspects of law relevant to the additional study and training that must be completed to pursue a career as a solicitor. It also covers elements of the academic training needed to become a barrister. Our Law degree can also open doors to a wide range of legal careers, thanks to our focus on giving you an all-round legal education. We keep our class sizes much smaller than other universities, allowing us to give you high levels of personal student support. We’re also one of only a few UK universities to include professional work placements with every undergraduate degree, so you’ll graduate with professional experience without having to take a sandwich year. In addition to the professional placements, we offer opportunities for pro bono activity so you can build an invaluable portfolio of legal experience during your studies. In your final year, you can study a selection of non-law option subjects offering the opportunity for you to expand your law study into areas such as Business; Journalism; Children, Young People and Families; Criminology and Sociology; and Politics. What’s more, Leeds is a rapidly growing legal centre, making it the perfect place to start your legal career. **Professional placements** You’ll get exclusive opportunities to work with law and legal service providers through an integrated programme of preparation, training and placements throughout your degree. In your final year an optional Professional Learning through Work module gives you the chance to work on a live brief from a legal employer. **Career opportunities** Graduating with a Law LLB degree gives you an excellent basis for pursuing a career as a solicitor or barrister, following completion of the relevant further requisite study and training. You will develop key transferable skills that will also be useful in other professions such as chartered accountant, immigration adviser, barrister’s clerk and working within the Criminal Justice System. Further study may be required for some of these specialist roles.
