About this course
Law affects all of our lives and the knowledge of law increases our understanding of the society and the world in which we live. This course provides a liberal education in Law, or in Law combined with another discipline, to promote such an awareness and to allow those who so wish to progress to careers in the legal professions.
You can combine the study of Law with a range of subjects. Approximately two-thirds of the curriculum will focus on Law and one-third on the other subject. All are LLB degrees and all have been accredited by the Law Society and the Bar Council as Qualifying Law Degrees (QLD). This status denotes that Bangor LLB graduates have completed the academic stage of training for the legal professions in England and Wales, and may enter directly onto Legal Practice Courses (LPC) to become solicitors or the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) to become barristers.
In the Law with French/German/Italian or Spanish degree, the European language may be studied from beginner and intermediate level when combined with Law.
Lawyers with additional linguistic skills are in high demand. Recognising this, we have developed a suite of programmes combining Law with a European Language enabling you to undertake a 4-year programme combining the study of a European Language with a Qualifying Law Degree. The language may be studied from beginners and intermediate level when combined with Law.
Studying Law with a European Language enables you to develop linguistic skills and knowledge of continental legal systems to meet the needs of legal practice within the European Union. These schemes last for four years, including a whole year abroad in the third year studying law and developing language proficiency at a leading university in Europe.
These partner university placements are operated through the European Commission Erasmus exchange programme. An Erasmus study grant is available to participating students for the duration of the placement. Details can be found at: www.bangor.ac.uk/international/erasmus/index
During the third year abroad, you study Law at the partner universities and learn the fundamentals of law, basic legal skills and develop proficiency in the European language. This involves gaining inside knowledge of the legal system, learning to deal with legal issues, interpreting legal rules and employing techniques of legal reasoning - and all done competently in the chosen language. This set of knowledge and skills substantially increases your future work prospects.
Bangor University is recognised as a qualifying law degree provider by the Bar Standards Board and this degree is accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Top job areas of graduates
Law graduates tend to go into the legal industry, and they usually take similar routes. Jobs are competitive — often very competitive - but starting salaries are good and high fliers can earn serious money - starting on over £24k in London on average. Be aware though - some careers, especially as barristers, can take a while to get into, and the industry is changing as the Internet, automation and economic change all have an effect, If you want to qualify to practise law, you need to take a professional qualification — many law graduates then go on to law school. If you want to go into work, then a lot of law graduates take trainee or paralegal roles and some do leave the law altogether, often for jobs in management, finance and the police force. A small proportion of law graduates also move into another field for further study. Management, accountancy and teaching are all popular for these career changers, so if you do take a law degree and decide it’s not for you, there are options.
