Bachelor of Law (Hons)

Program Overview

Whether you're seeking to forge a career as a solicitor, barrister, costs lawyer, legal executive or conveyancer, the University of Bolton's LLB (Hons) Law is an excellent choice. It's also an ideal springboard to a career in civil service, business management, politics, HR or finance.

Our experienced team will guide you as you explore the sources of the law in England and Wales, how it is made and developed, the institutions within which that law is administered, and the personnel who practice law. You'll study the law as it regulates the functions of the state, the relations between private individuals, and the ownership and control of land and other property. You'll also be able to choose additional legal areas that interest you or match your career aspirations.

We'll support you in developing the skills required to practice law. For example, we'll expect and encourage you to participate in mooting debates (a mock legal hearing where points of law are argued) in our purpose-built courtroom. We'll challenge you to develop sought-after critical reasoning, communication and advocacy skills, along with valuable transferable skills such as analytical thinking, practical problem-solving, presentation, negotiation skills and teamwork. Overall, our dedicated team will focus on helping you gain the skills employers value along with a deep and critical understanding of the law.

Highlights

Our Law courses are No. 1 in the UK for Student Satisfaction, according to The Complete University Guide 2023.
This LLB (Hons) includes the seven foundations of legal knowledge and the skills associated with graduate legal work, such as legal research. If you wish to train as a barrister, you must achieve three components set out by the Bar Standards Board (BSB). These are the academic, vocational and work-based learning components. This LLB (Hons) fully meets the requirements of the academic component. It also meets the entry requirements for the Solicitor's Qualifying Examination (SQE) if you're an aspiring solicitor.
The University of Bolton's Legal Advice Centre guarantees law students a work placement of at least one semester. Here they can develop and enhance their practice skills by assisting members of the public with their legal enquiries.
Few law schools have their own courtroom. Our state-of-the-art Moot Law Court gives you the opportunity to apply your academic and forensic skills to practical situations in front of your peers.
We have our own dedicated Law library, as well as a specialised law librarian. Online legal database resources are available via Lexis Library and Westlaw, and we use the virtual learning environment, Moodle, to create an interactive learning environment.
We maintain strong partnerships with local law firms and other legal service providers, facilitating work shadowing opportunities and regular visits by guest speakers. We also run the prestigious annual Ryder Lecture series and are home to the Centre for Contemporary Coronial Law.

Key Features

We offer a deep understanding of the fundamental legal principles, concepts, values, rules and techniques, establishing your knowledge and understanding of the doctrines and principles which underpin the law of England and Wales.
Our research-active academic law staff offer you access to expertise in a range of disciplines, including alternative dispute resolution, commercial, employment, European, family, healthcare, intellectual property, international and judicial reform.
We'll guide you in the use of research data, including primary sources such as legislation, EU law, case law, and secondary source materials such as government reports, white and green papers, and refereed journal articles.
You'll be encouraged to gain practical experience in presentation, argument and applying legal method skills as you participate in mock interviews, moot debates and negotiations.
We recommend that you join the University of Bolton's Student Law Society, which offers access to work placement opportunities, presentation skills development sessions and court trips.
By choosing to study with us, you'll have the chance to enjoy Bolton's many shops, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities.

Careers Opportunities

The academic study of law will give you an insight into the legal systems on which much of our day-to-day life is based. As well as acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of the law, this degree will enable you to develop a range of key employability skills such as reasoning and critical judgement, researching for accuracy, confidence gained from public speaking, the ability to formulate arguments and great attention to detail. These skills are highly transferable and can place you well for a career inside or outside the legal profession.

To practice law after graduation, you must go on to further study and vocational training. To become a solicitor in England and Wales, you have to complete the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) and undertake a minimum of two years of full-time (or equivalent) Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) in a qualifying legal role. If you aim to work as a barrister in England and Wales, you'll need to undertake a Bar course with an authorised institution, followed by a pupillage or work-based learning component. Variations in training routes exist in Scotland and Northern Ireland for both roles.

This degree is a Qualifying Law Degree, so if you started this course before 31 December 2021 (date subject to change), you have a choice of qualifying as a solicitor through either the SQE route or by completing the Legal Practice Course (LPC) route.

What can I do with this qualification?

As a graduate with a law degree, you'll likely wish to pursue one of the many law-related careers, such as becoming a solicitor, barrister, paralegal, legal executive, legal secretary and patent attorney.

If you qualify as a solicitor, you'll have direct contact with clients, with the broadest caseload coming from high street practices covering criminal, family, probate and business law. Opportunities are therefore available in private practice, in public sector bodies such as local authorities and the government, and the in-house legal departments of companies.

If you choose the barrister route, you'll most likely work in sets of chambers on a self-employed basis. Alternatively, barristers may seek employment in public sector bodies such as the Crown Prosecution Service, the Armed Forces legal service, and the Government Legal Profession.

Alternative career options

Not all graduates want to qualify as a lawyer. You may prefer to work in an area involving legal content, perhaps in business or the wider community. As a law degree is highly regarded, you'll be well placed to seek a career in a huge variety of fields, bearing in mind that some jobs may require further study and/or work experience. Some possibilities are:

Immigration
Police
Trading standards
Investment banking
Tax advice/inspection
Teaching and education
International aid/development
Human resources
Health and safety
Probation/social work
Accountancy
Political research
Charity and advice work
Recruitment
Stockbroking
Marketing
