Law affects all of our lives and the knowledge of law increases our understanding of the society and the world in which we live. This Law with Social Policy course programme provides a liberal education in Law, or in Law combined with another discipline, to promote such an awareness and to allow those who so wish to progress to careers in the legal professions. You can combine the study of Law with a range of subjects. Approximately two-thirds of the curriculum will focus on Law and one-third on the other subject. All are LLB degrees and all have been accredited by the Law Society and the Bar Council as Qualifying Law Degrees (QLD). This status denotes that Bangor LLB graduates have completed the academic stage of training for the legal professions in England and Wales, and may enter directly onto Legal Practice Courses (LPC) to become solicitors or the Bar Practice Training Course (BPTC) to become barristers. Combining Law with Social Policy leading to a qualifying law degree gives you an opportunity to study in greater depth areas relating to social policy. Studies will relate to theories, policies, practice and important issues that are affecting the Law - studies that will be of value for graduates who will later qualify as practising solicitors or barristers.

Career Prospects All of the LLB degrees are Qualifying Law Degrees, allowing graduates to proceed directly to the vocational stage of professional training to become barristers or solicitors. A degree in law is also a highly-valued qualification for entry into other careers, including government, industry and commerce. Lawyers with additional language skills are greatly in demand.
