The LLB (Bachelor of Laws) programme provides a strong starting point for anyone aiming to build a career in the legal field. It develops essential legal knowledge and practical skills, preparing graduates to pursue professional training such as the Bar course for those aspiring to become barristers. It also supports those intending to qualify as solicitors by laying the academic foundation required for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE).
This degree covers the core areas of law commonly referred to as the Foundations of Legal Knowledge, including constitutional and administrative law, human rights, European Union law, criminal law, contract law, tort law, property law, and equity and trusts. Alongside these subjects, students are introduced to key legal skills, gain an understanding of the English and European legal systems, and receive training in legal research and analysis.
The programme also prepares students for the SQE by introducing key areas of legal practice such as business law, property law, criminal litigation, wills and probate, and dispute resolution in both contract and tort contexts.
