Course summary

Our Law LLB (Hons) is the more traditional Law qualification that we offer and is a qualification we have delivered for over 20 years. The law industry, however, is changing and as such our course is currently "Subject to Approval". The specific requirements contained in the Law LLB (Hons) have been changed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). The Law LLB (Hons) offered at Blackburn University Centre contains the core elements expected in an LLB (Hons) Law degree as well as options in your area of choice as such the course is excellent preparation for a number of careers in Law. Our Law degree opens up many routes to graduate careers. For those intending to work as practising solicitors or barristers, once you have completed the course you might choose to continue by taking either the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE 1) or the Bar Vocational Course for intended barristers. The course is available on both a full-time and part-time basis. The overall aim of the programme is to provide a balanced and stimulating academic legal education together with an understanding of the essential practical skills such as debating, mooting and presentations which support employability.
