More about the course
Now based on the modern de Havilland Campus, supported by a £10m facility in the state-of-the-art Law Court Building, our LLB Programme complements the new 2-year (accelerated) and 4-year part-time LLB programmes.
In addition, as one of only 5 universities in the country offering exemptions to the Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX), by the end of your law degree you could (subject to your module choices) obtain Graduate Fellowship of ILEX and commence work in that field.
Further, if you choose to fully engage with our wide range of co-curricular activities, such as mooting, debating, mock trials and Streetlaw we can also provide you with the opportunity of achieving a Diploma in Professional Practice.
Our statistics speak for themselves with 94% of our 2010 graduates in graduate-level employment or further study.
The largest single career choice made by law graduates is the legal profession, with around 30-40% choosing to follow this path each year. We support all of our students with bespoke legal careers advice to complement the extensive service provided by UH Careers and Employability Service.
Successful completion of our LLB law degree will enable you to apply for the Legal Practice Course, Bar Professional Training Course or the New York Bar. We guarantee progression to our own Legal Practice Course for our students who achieve a 2:2 or better.
Teaching methods
We offer one of the most innovative teaching programmes in the country with high levels of contact time during the week between staff and students.
Each module has a knowledge-based lecture to explain the law, a skills-based lecture to demonstrate application and a focused 2-hour workshop. These workshops offer a chance to test your own understanding and raise any tricky issues in a supportive study environment. Lectures are available online and can be downloaded to allow you to review key issues again at your leisure.
Our assessment policy reflects our commitment to your professional skills development. You won't just be taking exams, we'll put you through your paces in a variety of ways from mediation and mooting to drafting and summarising. These are key skills for today's lawyer needs and you'll have a chance to learn them with us.
