Course summary

On our four-year LLB Law with Literature (including foundation year), we work with you to help to develop your subject-specific knowledge and to improve your academic skills. You receive a thorough grounding in these areas during your foundation year (known as Year Zero) to prepare you for a further three years of undergraduate study at Essex. You are an Essex student from day one, a member of our global community based at the most internationally diverse campus university in the UK. LLB Law with History will give you a thorough training in the complementary disciplines of law and history, by developing critical, reflective, creative and analytical skills. In addition to emphasising aspects common to both subjects, you explore the differences between them, and the approaches taken within law and historical thought. You will also develop a critical awareness of the nature of law within its historical contexts. You will cover key topics from both Law and History, with the opportunity to choose from a wide range of optional modules too:

• The American Revolution

• The role of women in Early Modern England

• Copyright and trademark law

• International environmental law

• The use of evidence

• Human rights
