Law with Politics LLB Hons

This qualifying Law degree is taught by the world-leading, research-active academics based in our Law School and Department of Politics, Philosophy, and Religion.

Networking opportunities

We have strong links to Chambers, Law firms and related professions from across the UK, including magic circle firms from London. We usually host a judicial lecture series, alumni visits and lectures, and a Law Fair, which is typically attended by lawyers (including trainees, associates, and partners) and members of their recruitment teams. All of this should help you to make professional connections, learn more about their firms, and get a head start on your career in Law.

Our student-run Law Society usually organizes a wide range of extracurricular activities including mooting and negotiation competitions (typically judged by barristers and members of the judiciary). In recent years they have organized a Law Ball, sporting fixtures, and a career dinner. Each event is designed to help you build your peer and employer networks.

Practical experience

Practical experience is important in this degree, with a range of opportunities available. You may be able to take part in our Law Clinic which provides the real-world experience of giving free legal advice to members of the local community. Our Miscarriages of Justice Project gives the chance to work on real criminal cases alongside practising lawyers as they support prisoners who maintain their innocence and have exhausted their appeal rights. The Street Law project provides experience in schools and organizations, advising and supporting them on specific areas of law.
