Course Overview
If you don’t attain the grades needed to enrol on to the LLB Law with Politics undergraduate programme, then this 4-year programme, including a Foundation Year, could be for you.
The Foundation Year is an excellent way to gain the knowledge and skills needed to begin an LLB degree; you will be introduced to key themes in law, as well as being provided with opportunities to pick up new skills that will be of use throughout your undergraduate degree.
The Foundation Year is taught at The College, located on our Bay Campus. After you complete this year, you will move to the School of Law on Singleton Campus for the remainder of your studies.
During the following three years, you will gain a comprehensive grounding in the core areas covered by a law degree. As your studies progress, you can choose from a wide range of specialised subject areas of law with an extensive list of over forty optional modules to choose from.
Alongside this, you will study key aspects of British and international politics, public policy, political theory, philosophy, and peace and conflict.
Throughout your degreeyou will develop excellent research and analytical skills, learning to present your ideas effectively both verbally and in writing, and benefitting from our practice-led approach to law and its relationship with international relations.
All of our undergraduate law programmes contain the foundations of legal knowledge needed to enter the legal profession. Our programmes provide a strong foundation for students who may wish to take the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE) in the future and satisfy the academic stage of training required by the Bar Standards Board for those wishing to become barristers.
