Study modules
Please note: As our courses are reviewed regularly as part of our quality assurance framework, the modules you can choose from may vary from that shown here. The structure of the course may also mean some modules are not available to you.

You’ll be taught by an intimate, friendly academic team, who will offer you one-to-one support and boost your confidence in Law. You’ll be taught in lectures, small group seminars and tutorials.
You’ll learn through a variety of methods, including:

Assessment
Assessment methods used on this course
LLB modules use a range of assessment techniques. In some modules, you’ll be assessed through formal exams. In other modules, you may be assessed through coursework, in-class exercises or other means.
Professional accreditation
After you complete your LLB, you can go straight to the vocational stage of training. If you want to be a barrister, you’ll be ready to progress to the Bar course. You’ll also have a strong foundation of legal knowledge from which you can move on to prepare for the Solicitors’ Qualifying Exam (SQE).

Career prospects
‘This degree awarded to you is supremely valuable. The award is from a university which... commands very considerable respect.

You’ll graduate ready to launch your career - as a future barrister, solicitor or in a non-legal profession.
You’ll be confident communicating legal knowledge. And you’ll be an expert in areas like research, analysis and influencing, which are all sought-after employment skills.
Your opportunities to gain hands-on experience during the course will set you apart as you take your next step. You might have gained experience working with real litigants on our Community Legal Outreach scheme (CLOCK). Or you might have developed your courtroom skills through joining our nationally-recognised mooting team.
You’ll graduate fully equipped to progress to the next stage of your career - and ready to take on professional practice courses like the Bar Course for barristers. You’ll also have a strong foundation of legal knowledge from which you can move on to prepare for the Solicitors’ Qualifying Exam (SQE).
