Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: M1T2

Here's what University of Surrey says about its Law with International Relations with Foundation Year course.

Foundation courses A foundation year can develop your skills and make it easier to get started at university. It is an extra year of study at the start of your course that leads in to a full degree programme. It’s a great option if:

You don’t have the grades for a full degree course You have non-traditional qualifications or experience You’re starting university after some time away from education You’re looking for more support during the transition into university study.

Life as a foundation year student -During a foundation year you’ll learn about your chosen subject, develop your study skills and get used to university life. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree course.

-As a foundation year student, you’ll be a full student of the University and part of our community. You’ll have access to all our campus facilities and support.

Why choose this course The University of Surrey provides a supportive, single campus environment for you to immerse yourself in the study of law and international relations.

Take the opportunity to get industry-ready with our award-winning Professional Training placements.

-Surrey Law School has a close-knit sense of community that schools on larger campuses struggle to match. Together with our active and enthusiastic student cohort, we have created one of the most vibrant and stimulating law schools in the country.

-Here you will be taught by experts from Surrey Law School and Politics and International Relations, with fundamentals of the discipline of international relations integrated in your course from the start of your degree, and the opportunity to take a range of optional modules related to contemporary issues in international politics and public affairs in your second and final years.

-We offer our own Professional Legal Practice (SQE Pathway) LLM so you can apply to stay at Surrey for your masters and benefit from the familiar teaching environment.

What you will study Our LLB (Hons) Law with International Relations course will challenge you not only to understand the law, but also to apply it and consider its impact on society on a global scale.

Our law courses are enhanced by our student-focused teaching approach, engaging tutorials and the opportunity to study legal areas that are of particular interest to you.

You’ll learn how to debate the law, analyse its application to given situations and apply your legal understanding in a national or international context.

We offer?facilities such as the Court of the Future?to provide practical experience. Further opportunities to develop your professional skills are provided through a series of extracurricular activities focusing on client interviewing, negotiation and mooting.
