Law with History is a three-year Qualifying Law Degree (QLD) that explores the links between Law and History. You can choose from a wide range of History modules and periods, such as the Norman, the Tudor and modern periods, in order to better appreciate how these historical periods had an influence on the development of legal principles. Those who have studied history in school will have the opportunity to continue their studies at university, but to broaden the appeal of their degree by combining it with the major discipline of Law, with which there is a natural interface. 

International Experience

Students have the opportunity to enhance their degree programme and extend their understanding of their degree subject area by spending a period of study at an overseas host institution. This route is optional and if you choose to follow it, you will extend your period of study from three years to four and will gain an enhanced degree qualification: LLB Law with History (International Experience). You will need to pass a specified number of credits* during their year abroad but no credits from that year will feed into your degree.

Internships

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

Career

Graduates of this programme may find employment in the legal sector or as researchers, historians, archivists, curators or teachers. You may also find employment within local government, the civil service, politics, advocacy or the business sector.

Due to the programme’s Qualifying Law Degree status, graduates will be eligible to proceed onto the vocational stage of training required to become a barrister or lawyer in England and Wales: the BPTC and the LPC, respectively.

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.

If you are unsure whether this degree is recognised in your home country, please contact us for more information. Or you can consult your country's Bar Council.
