The LLB (Hons) Law degree is a stimulating and challenging course that focuses on justice, technology and employability.

 

Available to study part-time or full-time, the programme covers all of the foundation subjects required by the Bar Standards Board and the Solicitors Regulations Authority, for the purposes of professional qualification as a barrister or solicitor in England and Wales.

 

Employability is at the heart of everything we do. At USW, you will benefit from our award-wining Legal Advice Clinic, which provides opportunities for every law student to gain vital skills that you can take with you into the workplace. In addition to this, we have strong connections with industry and host a range of guest speakers who are experts in their field, to provide context and real-life examples relating to the topics you study.

 

Graduates will gain an in-depth understanding of the diverse nature of law and develop a range of skills to help them advance their careers, whether they are aiming to be solicitors or barristers or decide to follow a different career path. Upon graduation, you can choose to join our LLM Professional Practice (SQE) to prepare you for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam or other postgraduate courses.

 

Outside of the classroom, you will have the opportunity to join our thriving USW Bar Society and get involved in a range of sporting, social and networking activities. Students benefit from our expertise in mooting from Year 1 and can also get involved in mooting competitions. Alternatively you may wish to join the Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity group which meets regularly to drive positive change for the student body.
