LLB (HONS) Law

programme overview

The University of Staffordshire Bachelor of Laws, LL.B., is designed not only to provide in-depth legal knowledge but also to cultivate the professional skills and competencies required for a successful career in law. This three-year LLB programme comprises modules that deliver both foundational and specialized legal knowledge, while systematically developing skills in critical analysis, research, negotiation, advocacy, public speaking, presentation, communication, and teamwork.

In Year 1, students are introduced to the fundamental principles of law and essential legal skills through a range of core modules. Year 2 builds upon this foundation by advancing students’ understanding of core legal doctrines and offering opportunities to focus on areas such as Business Law or Public Law. In the final year, students complete a core module and choose from a wide selection of contemporary, practice-oriented optional modules aligned with their academic interests and career ambitions, including progression to postgraduate study and professional training.

The programme covers the core areas of legal knowledge traditionally required for progression to vocational legal training courses in the UK, including preparation for the Bar and other professional qualification pathways.
