Our market-leading Law and Practice degree focuses on developing your real-world skills and provide all the learning for a Qualifying Law Degree as well as developing your advocacy, legal drafting and legal practice skills, building a solid foundation for you to become a competent and knowledgeable practitioner of law. This degree provides an intensive pathway in your third year with all modules designed to allow you to work towards taking the new Solicitor’s Qualifying Exams (SQE1) following the completion of your Law degree.

Taking a Huddersfield Law School degree means you can choose to take an LLB in Law, LLB in Law and Practice or an MLaw (incorporating LLB) as an integrated Masters in Law and Practice. Whichever pathway you choose, all degree programmes support you in exploring your options and the career path you you wish to take and you can change your route right up to the end of your second year and choose the path that is best for you, for your final year.

As well as gaining an understanding of the law itself, studying a law degree will teach you a wide range of essential skills such as how to construct an argument, how to communicate with clients, the importance of attention to detail, and the ability to work in a team as well as on your own initiative. We’ll help you to build your employability skills while you study, making you stand out to potential employers.

On the LLB Law and Practice course we also give you the opportunity to take a placement year that could see you working in a business and gaining real world experience.
