UCAS code: M990
Here's what University of Sheffield says about its Law (Graduate Programme) course.
Our two-year LLB Law course is ideal for you if you already have a degree in a non-law subject and wish to gain fast-track access to a qualifying law degree without compromising on rigour and your future options.
Covering the Bar Standard Board’s foundations of legal knowledge, this two-year graduate entry LLB course will equip you with a critical understanding of the English legal system while allowing for specialisation according to your career goals.
You’ll learn the foundations of a common law system, contract, tort, property, constitutional and administrative law of England and Wales, equity and trusts, criminal law and EU and international law, with the opportunity to delve into your topics of interest through a range of optional modules. Throughout your course, you’ll build key transferable skills that are sought after by employers and can be applied in the legal field, as well as across a range of industries and roles.
If you intend to practise law in another jurisdiction, our two-year LLB degree will be recognised as giving you a foundational knowledge and understanding of core common law principles. You’ll build the relevant skills to learn and understand legal rules effectively, so that you can undertake a jurisdictional bar course relevant to the jurisdiction(s) in which you wish to practise. It may also give you certain exemptions from some common law subjects.
If you plan to be a solicitor in England and Wales, you can also complete your Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) with the University of Law, right here at the University of Sheffield.
As a student in our two-year LLB Law course, you’ll benefit from our internationally renowned expertise in law and criminology and close connections with international, national, regional and local firms. You'll ultimately graduate with a valuable skill set for a successful career in the legal field and a range of managerial professions.
