LLB Honours Degree

Stimulating, relevant and packed with intellectual challenges, this course gives you the expertise you need for your future career.

You’ll gain a sound knowledge of the fundamental principles of law, along with the study of a range of optional subjects. There is also a strong emphasis on developing the intellectual and practical skills associated with law.

This law degree — the LLB (Hons) — meets the requirements of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Bar Standards Board for a qualifying law degree. Successful completion of the programme enables you to continue to the vocational stage of legal education. In due course you can qualify as a solicitor or barrister. Many LLB graduates do, however, pursue a variety of other professions.
