Key Summary
Book to attend an Online Open Day to find out more - Undergraduate event on March 21 and Master's event on March 4.
Law is an interesting and challenging discipline that impacts at every level, from people's individual daily lives to the operations of government on the international stage. Increasingly the international dimension to legal study has become more important, across a wide range of legal areas, as the influence of European and international organisations has become so significant.
The Law LLB Honours offers you an exciting and dynamic educational experience while also providing you with the core subjects required by professional legal bodies. The legal profession requires graduates to possess both intellectual and practical skills, and the course explicitly addresses these requirements with a structured programme of skills development. It will equip you with the transferable and cognitive skills necessary for lifelong personal and professional development.
You can also add an international dimension to your studies through a further year of law study abroad in one of the School's partner institutions in Europe and overseas.
