Bachelor of Laws LLB Degree

Introduction

This programme is aimed at students who wish to obtain a qualifying law degree, whether for entry into the legal profession, or for other purposes.

The programme offers a sound academic education in law. It combines the acquisition of knowledge of substantive law with the development of skills in reasoning and analysis, and wherever possible it seeks to place law in the wider context of social, political, moral and economic issues. It is forward-looking, particularly with respect to Europe and technological change, and equips students with both legal and transferable skills.

The options enable students to acquire a more complete legal education, so they are able to take up a career in law or other professions.
