LLB Law with Politics combines a distinctive approach to legal education from a globally recognised institution, bringing together academic study and practice-led approaches to law, with complementary units taught by colleagues in one of the largest politics departments in the country. You will study the foundations of law in the UK as well as leading approaches to politics and international relations, enabling you to understand the relationship between law and politics through comprehensive study. You will be able to tailor your degree to your specific interests by choosing from a range of optional units offered by our diverse team of experienced academics and practitioners.

As well as building your legal skills, you will develop the intellectual ability and flexibility to evaluate new ideas and materials from a variety of legal and political sources. Our Justice Hub is a centre for excellence in clinical legal education and offers free legal advice to members of the public. Volunteering here gives you the opportunity to contribute to our partnerships with the public, charitable and private sectors and play your part in our commitment to social responsibility. Learning through reflective empowerment and collaboration, and applying your studies in practice, you can help contribute towards access to justice for some of the most vulnerable, marginalised and disadvantaged in society. Studying at one of the UK's most globally connected universities means you gain a global perspective on law, reflected in our teaching and your experience as a member of our academic community.
