Course summary
Our qualifying Law LLB(Hons) degree combines academic study with opportunities to experience law in practice, preparing you for a career as a legal professional or as a legal specialist within an organisation. Taken over three years, or four years with an optional salaried placement, core learning provides practical skills in presentation, negotiation, oration, mooting and advocacy and develops an understanding of the English legal system. This degree is currently recognised by the Solicitors Regulation (SRA) Authority and the Bar Standards Board. It is a qualifying law degree, which means that Law LLB(Hons) graduates will have completed the academic stage of training for entry into the legal profession. However, from 2021, a new Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) is due to be introduced which means that whilst qualifying law degrees will no longer allow you to move directly to the next stage of becoming a solicitor it will prepare you to sit the SQE. There's more information on this change in the Solicitors Qualification Exam section on our course page. This course is one of three LLB courses offered by Brighton Business School, alongside Law with Business LLB(Hons) and Law with Criminology LLB(Hons). Don’t meet these entry requirements? The University of Brighton Law LLB (Hons) with integrated foundation year provides an extra year of study at foundation level for students who do not hold the academic qualifications or experience required for entry to this course. Successful completion of the foundation year enables you to progress onto year 1 of this degree.
