Introduction
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.
