As lawyers with cultural sensitivity are in high demand. Recognising this, we have developed this course degree which combines Chinese with a Qualifying Law Degree. Students will be educated in the fundamentals of law and in the basic legal skills needed within contemporary Wales, the United Kingdom, Europe and the wider international community. Students will gain inside knowledge of the legal system, learn to deal competently with legal issues, interpret legal rules and employ techniques of legal reasoning, whilst simultaneously gaining proficiency in Chinese language and some exposure to Chinese culture. This set of knowledge and skills will substantially increase students’ future work prospects.

All Bangor LLB degrees have been accredited by the Law Society and the Bar Council as Qualifying Law Degrees. This status denotes that Bangor LLB graduates have completed the academic stage of training for the legal professions in England and Wales, and may enter directly onto Legal Practice Courses (LPC) to become solicitors or the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) to become barristers.

Internships

Bangor University runs a paid internship scheme within the university’s academic and service departments.

Career

All of the LLB degrees are Qualifying Law Degrees, allowing graduates to proceed directly to the vocational stage of professional training to become barristers or solicitors. A degree in law is also a highly-valued qualification for entry into other careers, including government, industry and commerce. Lawyers with additional language skills are greatly in demand.

International Applicants:  Each country has its own eligibility requirements and examination process to ensure sufficient legal knowledge to practise within their legal system.  We strongly advise that all applicants ensure that they have satisfied themselves of their respective eligibility to practice (in whichever country) before applying or accepting an offer of a place on a Law course.
