Law (Two-Year Accelerated) LLB (Hons)
The University of Northampton’s two-year accelerated LLB law degree is ideal for those seeking faster progression of a career in law, allowing you to complete your law degree in two years rather than the standard three.
A law degree is not just for those who wish to pursue a legal career; it equips you with a great many skills which are desired by the graduate jobs market. We know that not all our students will wish to enter the legal profession and we have designed our accelerated LLB programme to offer flexibility so that you can choose options which match your interests and will help you to achieve your goals.
The two year intensive LLB (Hons) provides an alternative to the three year qualification, allowing you to graduate and fast track your career and move onto the next stage. The intensive degree enables you to complete your degree in two years by extending the academic year into the normal vacation periods. You will need a strong academic ability and time management skills in order to be able to cope with the demands of this course.
The attractions of a two-year intensive LLB include:
- accelerating your career by entering the job market earlier than your peers
- the ability to complete the LLB degree in two years, with the associated intensity of study and time management skills, will be attractive to employers
- change your career where you have the experience but need the qualification in a quicker time
- Our Law team has strong links with the local legal profession and visiting law firms and barristers provide you with career advice throughout your studies.
