  • Bachelor of Laws (Honours) (LLB)

    The most popular qualification of its kind in the UK. It develops skills of legal analysis and the legal awareness needed to understand and apply the law. The degree offers the flexibility to tailor your study according to your study and career aspirations, to gain either:
    • an academic law degree
    • a degree that includes the Foundations of Legal Knowledge to become a barrister in England and Wales or a solicitor or barrister in Northern Ireland, or
    • a degree that supports those who want to take the first assessment, SQE1, in the Solicitors Qualifying Examination, which is necessary to enter the profession in England and Wales.

  • Bachelor of Laws (Honours) (graduate entry)

    If you already have a degree, this route to the LLB enables you to enter the programme at Stage 2, reducing the total time you need to study.

  • BA (Hons) Criminology and Law

    Explores the functions and role of our legal system and its relationship with criminality. Prepares you for a wide range of careers, particularly in criminal justice and public sector settings.

    Please note that if you want to qualify as a solicitor or barrister, you should choose to study our Bachelor of Laws (LLB).

  • BA (Honours) Law and Languages

    Combining law with French, German or Spanish is both stimulating and a smart career move. You’ll divide your study equally between both subjects.

The study of a modern language opens doors to other cultures and communities, and can provide a key to the global workplace.
