Build strong transferable skills and prepare for a career as a solicitor, barrister, or other profession with the Newcastle Law School LLB.

You'll study in a Law School that is globally engaged, yet rooted in its local community. This helps build knowledge and understanding, as well as empathy and cross-cultural awareness.

You can convert our standard three-year Law LLB Honours degree to a four-year LLB Honours degree with either a placement or international exchange year. The degree focuses on building the foundations of legal knowledge, as well as analysis and skills essential for a successful future career.

Studying the Newcastle LLB you'll learn about the law and develop practical legal skills such as:

• case analysis
• legal drafting and writing
• legal research
• client negotiation
• client interviewing
• mediation

You'll also:

• gain direct experience in the community or in industry through our pro bono schemes and work placement opportunities
• have the opportunity to broaden your cultural and legal frame of reference by applying to study at one of our prestigious international law faculties across Asia, Europe, Oceania and North America

Many of our graduates go on to qualify as solicitors or barristers, with some choosing to enter private practice and others joining organisations such as the Civil Service, local authorities or large companies.
