Develop your legal skills and knowledge – and build valuable, real-life experience – with our highly practical LLB Law with International Foundation Year degree.

Study law at a British university on our four-year LLB Law with International Foundation Year programme.

This programme is designed for international students, and will prepare and enable you to undertake an undergraduate law degree if you don't currently hold the correct qualifications.

Known as Year 0, the foundation year is designed to equip you with law-specific and general study skills to help you cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is focused on the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.

Upon the successful completion of Year 0, including a module in law, you will progress onto our accredited three-year LLB Law programme, where you'll develop your legal knowledge and gain real-life experience.

This guarantee means it is possible to seek a single four-year visa that will cover the whole duration of your studies.

For more information, visit the International Foundation Programme website.

 

New UK/Republic of Ireland students: £9,250

New international students: £20,300

*UK/Republic of Ireland fee changes

UK/Republic of Ireland undergraduate tuition fees are regulated by the UK government. These fees are subject to parliamentary approval and any decision on raising the tuition fees cap for new UK students would require the formal approval of both Houses of Parliament before it becomes law.

EU student fees

With effect from 1 August 2021, new EU students will pay international tuition fees. For exceptions, please read the UK government’s guidance for EU students.

Additional costs

Some courses will require additional payments for field trips and extra resources. You will also need to budget for your accommodation and living costs. See our information on living costs for more details.

Financial support for your studies

You may be eligible for a scholarship or bursary to help pay for your study. Students from the UK may also be eligible for a student loan to help cover these costs. See our fees and funding information for more information on what's available.

Alongside our dedicated careers advisor, we will provide help with CV writing, placement applications, and interview techniques. We host regular employer visits, alumni conversations, and career talks.

Your employability and likely destinations once you leave Reading will be the same as international students on the three-year LLB programme. Overall, 88% of graduates from Law are in work or further study within 15 months of graduation. [1]

Under current UKVI rules, international students are able to stay in the UK for four months after the completion of their course. The majority of the international students at our School of Law use this four-month window to travel. They then either remain in the UK for further vocational training, or return home to complete their professional exams.

A significantly higher proportion of international students, when compared to home students, continue onto professional examinations; consistently in the region of 90%. The proportion of students remaining in the UK for the Bar Professional Training Course (from that 90%) varies each year but is consistently between one-third and one-half of the students who remain in the UK.
