LLB (Hons) Foundation Year Law
There are many elements to our legal system. Its variety is what makes it an exciting field to work in.
This foundation year helps you prepare for the LLB if you don’t have traditional academic qualifications.
You’ll learn the basics of law and how this applies across society. You’ll also develop the academic and study skills you need to complete a university degree.
Enter the legal profession
This is the first step on your journey to becoming a legal professional. It will give you a solid grounding in law that you’ll build on during the three or four years of your LLB.
If you want to train as a barrister or solicitor, you’ll need to complete additional vocational qualifications after you graduate with your full degree.
Learn from professionals
Our staff are practising legal professionals and experienced legal scholars. They’ll share their experience with you on this course and your full LLB.
During your full degree, you’ll be able to take advantage of our extensive industry connections. Choose the four-year route to undertake a work placement to gain professional experience.
All Foundation Year students study the Study Skills unit, which will help you to develop the academic and study skills required for degree-level work. You will also study topics in civil justice, criminal justice and business.
International and EU students whose first language is not English and who have an IELTS score of less than 6.0 will study an English for Academic Study unit.
Successful completion of the Foundation Year guarantees automatic progression onto Year 1 of the degree you have chosen to study.
