Law (Accelerated)

UCAS code: M100

Here's what The University of Law says about its Law (Accelerated) course.

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 able to dedicate extra time to their studies on a weekly basis. Packed with great transferable 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 your career aspiration is to be a solicitor or barrister in the UK, this degree will prepare you in part for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) or Bar Practice Course (to qualify as a barrister).

Our law graduates have also used their degree to enter into a wide range of other careers, including business, media, finance and banking, criminology, governmental bodies and departments, and the police force.
