LLB(Hons)

Your course

Whether you’re intending to use the LLB degree as the start of your legal career in the legal profession or as the stepping stone for other career opportunities, Huddersfield Law School will give you the very best in legal teaching. This degree gives you access to a number of different optional modules and whole final year devoted to your own choices. You can create a business law pathway, social justice and human rights pathway or focus on wider areas of law such as family law, environmental law or international law. As well as gaining an understanding of the law itself, studying a law degree will teach you a wide range of essential skills such as how to construct an argument, how to present yourself and your ideas, the importance of attention to detail, and the ability to work in a team as well as on your own initiative. You’ll gain a firm understanding of legal principles and core legal concepts and you will be able to start focusing on the topics that interest you in your second year and spend your final year studying your choices from a wide range of specialised modules. You may decide to take up the opportunity to be part of our Legal Advice Clinic, where you’ll work closely with practising solicitors and help them with real cases.*
