We’re internationally known for our law expertise – and our LLB Law puts you at the heart of legal innovation. Our law course gives you the initial skills and qualifications to succeed in the legal profession and pursue qualified solicitor or barrister status in England and Wales.

Our course gives you the intellectual knowledge and transferable skills to innovate, reform and thrive in the legal profession. You’ll explore the wide range of legal concepts, values, principles and rules as you gain an expert knowledge of the core principles of the law in England and Wales. You’ll also put theory into practice with work-based modules that will develop your professional skills.

In light of COVID19 and the need to prioritise a safe academic community, we will offer a blended learning model that will involve online teaching and learning delivered by our expert academics, as well as opportunities for face-to-face teaching on-campus each week. All such decisions will be made in line with Government advice.

Learn to apply your legal skills from the start

Our course ensures you practise your skills as you study. We place our students with professional legal bodies and practitioners, giving you the opportunity to get work experience alongside your theoretical studies.

Additionally, you may be able to test your skills with our Legal Advice Centre and experience the buzz and atmosphere of the courtroom in our specialist chambers located inside Hendon Town Hall. The chambers are frequently used to help hone your mooting skills.

Many students pursue studies for the professional qualifications which for solicitors will be the Solicitors Qualifying Exam from the autumn of 2021 and for barristers is the Bar Practice Course/Barrister Training Course. The LLB complies with the Bar Standard’s Board requirements for the academic component of Bar training comprising the seven Foundations of Legal Knowledge.

The LLB also provides a very good basis for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) which is being introduced in September 2021, although an LLB degree is not a requirement for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam.

Graduates also study for masters degrees, sometimes before pursuing the professional exams.

There are many sectors where a law degree is highly desired, including business (Human Resources, Tax and Insurance), charity, management, administration, the Civil Service, education and government. You might choose to pursue a career as a Solicitor, Barrister, Legal Executive, Paralegal, or in a community advisory role.
