The Law course offered by University of Leeds provides you with the opportunity to learn about the law, both in the traditional sense of Ôthinking like a lawyerÕ and in the broader sense of law as a social institution. This is a Qualifying Law Degree* which enables you to progress directly to the vocational stage of legal education should you wish to qualify as a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales. ItÕs also recognised in a number of other jurisdictions.

YouÕll cover the seven foundations of legal knowledge and develop your legal research skills. A wide range of optional modules will also enable you to follow your interests in specialist legal areas such as company or employment law, human rights law, environmental law and family law. You could also explore topics in criminal justice and criminology, such as policing or youth crime.

This programme leads to a Qualifying Law Degree*, which allows you to obtain maximum exemption from the academic stage of training of both the Bar Council and the Law Society of England and Wales. This allows you to progress directly to the vocational stage of training.

The LLB Law (graduate programme) provides students with the foundation to go on and qualify as a lawyer in England and Wales and gain transferable skills which are recognised in a number of jurisdictions.

International graduates wishing to practise in their home country may need to attain some further country-specific training.
