Our Bachelor of Laws, the UK’s most popular law degree, provides a strong foundation for a successful legal career. It gives you the flexibility to tailor your study to match your goals – whether you're pursuing an academic law degree, fulfilling the 'Foundations of Legal Knowledge' required to become a barrister in England and Wales, or a solicitor or barrister in Northern Ireland, or a degree that provides a foundation to take the first assessment (SQE1) of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination in England and Wales. By the end of your degree, you’ll have the legal knowledge and analytical skills to understand and apply the law in both legal and non-legal careers.
The OU ethos is about helping people to ensure they succeed. I found my OU degree a very positive experience and it gave me a huge sense of achievement.
Thanks to the OU’s one-to-ones and disability services, I barely felt the impact of my OCD. The materials, support, qualitative teaching, virtual learning environment platform and one-to-one support system are all state of the art.
I wanted to qualify as a lawyer for many years to 'give something back'. The Open University has given me the opportunity to study the LLB combined with growing a successful business.
