Our LLB course is accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Bar Standards Board and provides you with the first qualification for entry into the legal profession. 

In the first two years of the LLB, you are provided with the foundations of legal knowledge through modules in core areas, including criminal law, contract law and public law. From your first year, you will also be able to choose from a range of specialist optional modules depending on your interests. 

You can choose to complement your legal study with modules from outside our School, including languages, politics, and business courses such as entrepreneurship. 

In the final year of your degree, focus on your interests by selecting from a wide range of popular modules, including: 

  • Technology, Privacy and Internet Regulation
