What you study
The content of the course is largely laid down by the Bar Standards Board and the Solicitors' Regulation Authority, and is the same for full-time and part-time students.
We will send you a list of the books we would like you to read before you begin the course.
You will begin your formal study with Legal Sources and Institutions, which you will take during your induction programme.
You will then study the seven foundations of legal knowledge subjects, together with Legal Research Methods and one additional legal subject from among the options offered to our final-year LLB students. The seven foundation subjects, which make up the bulk of your programme, are Contract Law, Criminal Law, the Law of Equity and Trusts, European Union Law, Land Law, Public Law and the Law of Tort.
You will choose one additional legal subject from among the options offered to our final-year LLB students.
You will be taught through lectures, seminars and directed study, supported by use of Blackboard, the University's virtual learning environment, through which you will be able to access course materials, including lecture slides and practice questions and answers.
