What are LLB Law Degrees?
The LLB degree is probably the most common type of undergraduate law degree, and is studied by undergraduates seeking to practice in law as well as those students who eventually enter into other non-law related professions. LLB degrees are well regarded as rigorous degrees that train graduates for a wide range of career opportunities.
The LLB is a three-year qualifying law degree which leads you to the next stage of training within the legal profession you can follow the SQE route for solicitors or the BPTC for barristers.
An LLB programme will look at different areas of the Law examples include Public Law, Contract Law, Criminal Law, Tort Law, Land Law and the UK, EU Law and Brexit. As part of your LLB degree you鈥檒l be able to choose optional modules in areas that you have an interest in and may want to pursue in the future.
