Beschreibung des Programms

This course is designed to be the most focused professional law degree available. It's designed for students who wish to study a practically focused intensive course in two years, and wish to pursue a career in the legal sector. It’s a faster more intensive route, taught by the same tutors and using the same high-quality teaching methods as our three-year law degree. In the 2021 National Student Survey, the University of Law has been ranked first amongst universities in England for the category of 'teaching on my course'. We have an overall 5 Stars rating from QS World University Rankings and 5 stars in Teaching, Employability, Online Learning, Academic Development and Inclusiveness.

JD Canadian Pathway (London Bloomsbury campus only): If you’re interested in practising law in Canada or a Canadian university graduate, this course has a Canadian pathway offering modules in Canadian Law that will help prepare you for the Canadian NCA (National Committee on Accreditation) exams.* The law modules are ‘Foundations of Canadian Law’ and ‘Canadian Constitutional Law’ and are available at the London Bloomsbury campus only. ‘Foundations of Canadian Law’ will give you a sound knowledge of the history, principles and main sources of the Canadian legal system, while the ‘Canadian Constitutional Law’ module concerns the history of Canadian Constitutional law and basic constitutional principles. In order to take the JD Canadian pathway, you should apply for the course at the London Bloomsbury campus, then select the optional Canadian modules during your studies.

*Important Notice: You are advised to make your own enquiries with any professional bodies to which you may seek admission, to determine whether you will meet all their requirements, including academic, character and suitability requirements. The University cannot be held responsible for any decisions subsequently taken by a professional body concerning these requirements.

LLB Law (Accelerated)

Our Accelerated LLB covers all the same material as our LLB undergraduate law degree but in two years rather than three. It is designed for those who are able to dedicate extra time to their studies on a weekly basis. Still packed with great transferrable skills training, you can feel confident that you’ll graduate ready to take on the challenges of any career path you might wish to follow. If you’re eager to qualify as a solicitor or barrister then this course will help you jump-start your legal career. You can complete your degree in just two years with our Accelerated LLB, allowing you to move on to postgraduate study sooner. Studying our degree will also mean you are prepared in part for the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE 1) or to progress onto our Bar Practice Course (if you wish to qualify as a barrister).

Our Experience

We are one of the UK's longest-established specialist providers of legal education and have trained more practising lawyers in the UK than anyone else.
