Bachelor of Law (Hons) with Foundation Year

Program Overview

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.

Our extended foundation year 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.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

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, Banking Law, Family Law, Commercial 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.

YOUR FUTURE CAREER

Our law course equips you with skills and knowledge that are in high demand from employers in a variety of fields.

Others become barristers, going on to take the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) and then obtaining Pupillage in barristers' chambers. This can lead to a tenancy as a self-employed barrister, or you can practise as an employed barrister.

Whether or not you decide to pursue a career as a solicitor or barrister, you'll learn skills and develop qualities that appeal to employers in a variety of sectors. These include valuable communication skills such as writing, speaking and presenting, and the ability to analyse and evaluate information.
Other career options include:

General management roles in the private or voluntary sectors, e.g. in finance, insurance, media or education.
Public administration, e.g. in local government housing, planning or legal departments.
Paralegal or legal executive work in a variety of sectors.

Some students move on to postgraduate study or enter other fields such as teaching or journalism.
