Law (Business) with Foundation Bachelor of Law (with Honours) - LLB (Hons)

### Real cases, real people, real impact

Not everyone takes the same route into university, but if you’re passionate about working in accounting but don’t quite meet the entry requirements for one of our Law degrees, this course is for you.

The Foundation Year is your opportunity to step into Higher Education while building the confidence, skills, and knowledge you need to succeed. In just one year, we’ll help you gain a solid foundation and get ready to take on a Law degree.

We’ve designed the Foundation Year to give you a well-rounded start, with opportunities to explore your chosen discipline, develop your academic and professional communication skills, and consider contemporary issues. You’ll also work collaboratively on real-world projects, building the strong foundations you’ll need to thrive in your future studies and career. You'll also have the opportunity to undertake a placement industry to get you work ready.

At LSBU, you don’t just learn law, you *do* law. We’re the first Law School in the UK that guarantees you’ll work in one of our in-house clinics, where you’ll be advising real people in our community on housing, family, employment, consumer rights, and social justice issues through our Legal Advice, Human Rights, and Law & Social Policy clinics, all right here in central London.

This practical experience will help you build your confidence, your CV and your professional network before you even graduate.

You’ll see law in action, with teaching that’s built around practice as much as it is theory, leading to many of our graduates making lasting impacts in their communities, with some having even gone on to argue cases in the Supreme Court, or contribute to social justice campaigns. This kind of real-life experience will give you the practical skills, professional connections and self-confidence to succeed as a lawyer, barrister or solicitor, or in plenty of other professional settings.

The knowledge, confidence and professional practice you build through your studies, combined with our Law Clinic Guarantee, expert academics and the CareerSmart programme, mean you’ll always have the support and guidance you need to aim higher. You’ll be supported by experienced practitioners, academics, peer mentors, while a getting access to a range of resources that set you up for success.

These include Oxford University Press Law Trove (185 titles worth £8,000, free to you), leading databases: LexisNexis and Westlaw UK, high quality support in research, evaluation, and application processes. Strong links with the South London Law Society and the Southwark Legal Advice Network. Beyond the classroom, you can join our award-winning Bar & Mooting Society, the Student Law Society, or write for The Devil’s Advocate, our student-led magazine.

On this course you’ll explore everything from Commercial Law, Criminal Law to Human Rights and Social Justice, building the confidence to apply the law, challenge it and even reimagine it for the future. Because law isn’t just about shaping a career. It’s about shaping the world we live in.
