Since Law is a vast and diverse subject, we offer a huge amount of flexibility in our general LLB programme: LLB (Hons) Law.
Our diverse LLB programmes also have an optional placement year available. Giving you the opportunity, to gain hands on experience and connect, all that you have learnt at university to the legal industry. Placements will be provided and supported either by us or a partner organisation where you will gain worthwhile and practical real-world experience in handling issues relating to aspects of social welfare law. This is a unique and exceptional opportunity for you to work in the legal sector. International students wanting to do the placement year must indicate so, upon application.
