Course Summary

This extended course is perfect if you want a degree in Law but don’t have the standard entry requirements. We prepare you for your degree during the Foundation year, bringing you up to speed with academic skills and a firm grounding in the subject. You can then go on to study the full undergraduate degree. Our LLB (Hons) Law course is a qualifying law degree, forming an essential part of the training you need to become a barrister or a solicitor. The course will equip you with a broad understanding of key legal principles and institutions within the political, social, economic and cultural context in which the law operates. You’ll learn how the law is made and administered and explore the inter-relationships between the law, individuals and society. We give you the opportunity to build on this knowledge with a wide choice of 16 optional modules in your final year. And you’ll also have the opportunity to gain valuable experience in our acclaimed community Legal Advice Centre, working with local solicitors to provide a law clinic for the general public. This course meets all the requirements of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board. It also gives a fast track to achieve qualifications as a legal executive or for the insurance and financial services industries. You’ll also have the chance to spend a term at one of our partner institutions in Holland, France or Germany.

Course Details - Modules

As this is a qualifying law degree, you can expect to learn the fundamentals of the profession from day one. The compulsory modules in your first two years include an introduction to legal skills and methods, and insights into the key specialist areas of the subject. These include contract, land, criminal, human rights, constitutional and administrative law. In your final year, you’ll need to complete one compulsory module on equity and trusts, but will then be able to choose from a wide range of options. These include intellectual property law, Islamic law, commercial law, media law, client practice and civil and criminal litigation. If you take these last two options, you can gain the Higher Diploma in Paralegal Practice in addition to your degree. You’ll be encouraged to ‘learn by doing’ by volunteering for the University’s much-admired Legal Advice Centre in Stratford and through work placements with local law firms.
