LLB Law

And if you have set your sights on a career in politics, business or journalism, the transferable skills you will learn on our law degree will give you an excellent launch pad for these ambitions and more. With our professionally focused qualification, you can expect to learn practical skills coupled with a focus on your future employability.
Our LLB law course will also offer you the flexibility to specialise more and more as you progress to focus on what interests you, with opportunities to study anything from Business Law to International Law.
