Course Overview

You may have heard that legal education is changing. Our LLB Honours course has been redesigned to meet those changes and will provide an excellent grounding as you take your first steps towards a legal career. The LLB Law degree at the University of Northampton covers the seven foundations of legal knowledge required to meet the core academic requirements required by the Bar Standard Board for entry onto the Bar Training Course.

For students who aspire to become solicitors, our LLB course has been designed to help you prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) as alongside the traditional foundations of legal knowledge; there are additional optional modules covering SQE topics such as civil litigation, property law and practice, business law and criminal litigation.
