Law, LLB (Hons)

The LLB degree is a highly flexible three-year, full-time course. While providing a solid grounding in the main areas of English and Welsh law, it also allows for individual specialisation through a variety of optional modules offered by the School and other departments in the University.On this degree you will learn through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, informal but scheduled one-on-one support, and self-directed learning, such as research, reading, and writing.All of these are supported by a virtual learning environment, Learn Ultra. Seminars and tutorials are much smaller groups than lectures, small enough to allow one-on-one interaction with academic staff.Small-group teaching and one-on-one attention from your academic advisor at the start of your degree is part of the learning experience throughout leading to more independent research, including a capstone dissertation – supported by one-on-one supervision – that makes up a third of your final year credits.In this way, the degree systematically transforms you from a consumer of knowledge in the classroom to a generator of knowledge, ready for professional or postgraduate life. These formal teaching arrangements are supported by ‘drop-in’ surgeries with teaching staff and induction sessions that begin in the week before the start of the degree and continue at key times throughout each year of the course.You can also attend an extensive programme of research-focused seminars where staff and visiting scholars present their cutting-edge research.
