Why study Law?
Law shapes every part of life and business. This degree builds legal knowledge alongside skills in research, argument and clear writing.
- Start a legal career or move into compliance and advice
- Sharpen your thinking through research and argument
- Flexible timetable: 2 set days a week on campus
The LLB (Hons) Law shows you how the law works and builds strong skills in research, argument and clear writing. You begin with the legal system, contract law, criminal law and public law, then study tort, land law, human rights and employment law.
In your final year you cover equity and trusts and EU and international law, take part in mooting (arguing a case in a mock court), and write a dissertation. Mooting gives you practice in presenting a legal argument out loud. The course is taught on campus on set days in London. If you don’t have A-levels or equivalent qualifications, a foundation year introduces you to law, academic writing and argument before your degree begins.
Law graduates work as paralegals, in compliance and legal advice, in the public sector and in business. Becoming a solicitor or barrister needs further professional training after the degree, and your adviser can explain the routes.
