LLB (Hons) Law with Legal Practice

University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Apply your legal learning rather than just focusing on theory with this new LLB Law with Legal Practice degree. For example, when looking at business law you'll apply your learning to the setting up, running and dissolution of a company.

This course is specifically tailored to today's legal career pathways, preparing you for your next step as a solicitor or a chartered legal executive. The course is built around the outcomes needed to go on to further study for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE). You'll cover all the foundations of legal knowledge, but you'll be able to demonstrate much more practical experience of dispute resolution, legal drafting and legal practice than on our other law courses.

You'll gain 3 months work experience that can count towards your qualifying work experience for the new Solicitors Qualifying Exam by helping real clients in our Legal Advice Clinic.
