Program Description

With a Portsmouth law degree, you can change the world, fight for what you believe in and make a difference in people's lives. This Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is a fully accredited law degree that gives you a choice to go on to study for your solicitor exams or your Bar exams after you graduate.

New Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE)

The route to qualifying as a solicitor has changed for new applicants.

If you accept an offer on this course after 21 September 2021, you'll need to take the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) after you graduate to qualify as a solicitor. The content and mode of assessment of many of our modules provide a good foundation for further specific SQE preparation.

If you completed or started this course, accepted an offer of a place, or paid a non-refundable deposit (international students only) before 21 September 2021 (inclusive), you can choose to take either the new SQE or the Legal Practice Course (LPC) after graduation.

Accreditation

This course satisfies all the degree requirements laid down by the Bar Standards Board.
