Apply for our undergraduate law programme and achieve a qualifying law degree (QLD). Studying the law provides a basis for a variety of possible employment opportunities from being a solicitor or barrister to a career in the fields of criminology, business, media or international relations. The three year LLB programme is very popular with undergraduate applicants because of the range of professional skills programmes on offer; those fluent in a second European Language often decide to study the four year LLB (European Legal Studies) programme in order to widen their professional skills and to put their language skills to good use. Applicants interested in learning about law in a different jurisdiction altogether, may find the four year LLB (International Legal Studies) programme an exciting option with travel to e.g. Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada, Chile. Graduates with a good first degree in a relevant subject are increasingly finding that the two year accelerated LLB programme, is the right choice, enabling applicants to continue into professional training as a Solicitor or Barrister following completion of their Law degree.

A law degree can open many doors outside of the profession. About half of our law graduates seek careers in the legal profession, as solicitors or barristers after further study and training. The others enter careers in criminology, business, human resources, international relations, journalism or education - following postgraduate study and/or relevant work experience. Our LLB programmes are formally accredited by the Law Society of England and Wales and the Bar Council of England and Wales as qualifying law degrees (QLD) for students wishing to undertake further professional training to become solicitors or barristers. They are also accredited for practice in many countries worldwide, including India, Australia, Canada and Malaysia. Our international reputation is high among employers because of the emphasis placed on the development of academic, personal and professional skills.
