Law LLB (Hons)

Law is taught from a range of perspectives, based on the finest traditions of legal education and recent innovations for the 21st century. Our approach is to examine law well beyond basic legal rules and legal institutions, taking account of wider contexts and discourses that allow deeper understanding of law in society. <br/>With this approach, the University of Suffolk provides you with firm grounding in the subject of law and the contexts in which law functions. Equally important is the breadth and depth of education that this subject facilitates. You will be equipped to take on challenging questions about law and related issues, and to apply their knowledge and skills in a variety of contexts..<br/>Law students are among the most employable and adaptable graduates, and pursue a broad range of career paths. Although law is the focus, our methods and analytical approaches draw on fields within the broader humanities and the social sciences.<br/><br/>Many of our graduates go on to have careers in legal practice. The Solicitors’ Qualifying Examination (SQE) has made the routes to becoming a solicitor more flexible. Although some students enrol on the Legal Practice Course, a greater number now enter employment as a paralegal upon completion of their law degree, often studying for the SQE at the same time. Our degree programme also includes all the foundational legal subjects to complete the academic stage of training to become a barrister.
