LLB Law (Accelerated)

Our Accelerated LLB covers all the same material as our LLB undergraduate law degree, but in two years rather than three. It is designed for those able to dedicate extra time to their studies on a weekly basis. Packed with great transferrable skills training, you can feel confident that you’ll graduate ready to take on the challenges of any career path you might wish to follow.

If your career aspiration is to be a solicitor or barrister in the UK, this degree will prepare you in part for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) or Bar Practice Course (to qualify as a barrister).

Our law graduates have also used their degree to enter into a wide range of other careers, including business, media, finance and banking, criminology, governmental bodies and departments, and the police force.

Our two year Accelerated Law degree is designed to get you to the next stage of your professional training as a lawyer or start your career as quickly as possible, without compromising on quality. We focus on teaching you the most relevant and practical skills that employers are looking for.

The Accelerated LLB is a faster, more intensive route taught by the same lecturers and using the same high-quality teaching methods as our three year law degree. Our faculty consists of 350 legally qualified lecturers, who will help you apply your law skills.

The highest standard of teaching from experienced professionals
