The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is a three-year undergraduate program at UCL designed to equip you with critical thinking skills and a deep understanding of how the law functions and can evolve. You will explore legal principles through lectures, seminars, and tutorials, learning about the law's role in governing individual, state, and societal relationships. The program emphasizes developing strong communication, reasoning, and legal problem-solving abilities through discussions, written assignments, and presentations.
The program includes an intensive two-week induction, 'Laws' Connections: Legal Doctrine and Contemporary Challenges', which requires approximately 15 hours of pre-course reading. This induction introduces the study of law and its role in addressing social issues through case studies and essential legal concepts and skills. Years 1 and 2 consist of four compulsory 30-credit modules each year, while Year 3 offers a range of optional modules totaling 120 credits, allowing for specialization. Students may also use 30 credits in Year 3 to study in another UCL department or a University of London institution.
All students are charged a fee for the duration of their studies. Payment deadlines must be met to continue studies.
All programmes comply with the QAA Subject Benchmark Statement for Law, covering the Foundations of Legal Knowledge and essential graduate legal work skills.
