LLB Law with Foundation

The program in Law with Foundation Year is designed to give students a solid introduction to the core areas of law while providing extra support during the initial year. It’s ideal for those who may not have met the typical entry requirements or need additional preparation before starting a full undergraduate law degree. The foundation year covers essential legal concepts, skills, and knowledge, helping students build confidence and understanding. The approach is practical, aiming to prepare students for success in subsequent years by focusing on key legal principles, legal research, and communication skills.

The main program then progresses into the standard LLB Law curriculum, which includes modules on areas such as criminal law, contract law, and public law. Students will develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and a deeper understanding of legal systems. The course also offers opportunities for practical experience and engagement with current legal issues, alongside developing legal writing and analysis skills. Overall, this program supports students in gaining a comprehensive legal education, whether they are starting with little background knowledge or looking for a smooth transition into university law studies.
