Our LLB (Hons) degree provides a comprehensive academic legal education, equipping you with essential legal, academic, and practical skills for a career as a solicitor or barrister. It also prepares you for other professional roles if you choose not to pursue formal legal qualification. The program is delivered by experienced academics and practising lawyers, integrating real-world clinical legal experience into the curriculum.

The LLB structure is flexible, with core modules covering the foundational subjects in the first two years. This allows you to specialise in your final year by selecting optional modules in areas like criminal law, commercial law, or social justice, tailoring your studies to your specific interests.
