Course Overview
If you don’t attain the grades needed to enrol on to the LLB Law in Practice with Politics programme, then this 5-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 the LLB Law in Practice with Politics 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.
The programme provides 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. Your fourth year will be spent at a paid internship in a legal setting, allowing you to experience legal practice firsthand, and pick up key skills that will be infinitely useful in your future career.
Alongside this, you will study key aspects of British and international politics, public policy, political theory, philosophy, and peace and conflict.
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.
