LLB Law
Overview
Our LLB Hons course is a Qualifying Law Degree, designed to give you the legal tools you will need for a career as a solicitor or barrister as well as equipping you for employment in other areas if you choose not go on to professional qualification in law.
The Solicitors' Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board have accredited the Bradford LLB as a qualifying law degree. This means that, if you successfully complete the assessments and examinations in the seven foundations of legal knowledge and legal skills training, you will be eligible for exemption from the academic stage of training and be able to continue to the postgraduate study and practical-based training stages needed to become a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales.
Students have the option of studying full time over three years
+Course details
In the first year of the programme you will study core law modules which give you a thorough grounding in the primary sources of 21st C English and Welsh law. In the second and final year, you go on to combine compulsory law-themed modules with the choice of a list of optional specialist modules which allows you to design a programme of study to suit your needs and interests.
You will also have the option of writing a dissertation. This enables you to explore in detail a topic that particularly interests you, and to develop your research skills even further.
Assessment largely involves a combination of coursework assessments and formal examinations held at the end of each semester. Your first-year assessments aim to measure your progress; the assessments that count towards the classification of you degree are held in the second and final years.
