About the course
In this LLB, you’ll gain a solid grounding in English law as well as exploring international, European and Canadian law. You will also cover:
-
how the law regulates the relationship between the individual and the state
-
how the law responds to dealings between individuals and groups
-
theoretical and practical aspects of law.
You’re taught by research-active faculty, and will join a vibrant community with an active student law body. You may undertake training to offer legal advice to the public (under supervision) and, through the Sussex Law Clinics, you can gain valuable work experience of the law in action before you graduate. We also have links with leading law firms that sponsor our student competitions in national and international mooting, criminal advocacy, client interviewing, negotiation, mediation and legal debating.

University of SussexZoology BSc (Hons)I wasn't always sure which direction I wanted to take. My background was in biomedical science with the NHS. Leaving this behind to travel in my 20s changed this trajectory and inspired me to study Zoology. Meeting incredible scientists and visiting conservation projects sparked a passion for the natural world and its protection. This experience led me to pursue a degree in zoology as a mature student. I have learned about the delicate balance in ecosystems and the pressing need for conservation efforts. I am hoping to build a career in this field. I am passionate about making a difference for our planet and inspiring others to connect with and protect the natural world. Gabriel
University of SussexComputer Science and Artificial Intelligence BSc (Hons)Hi, I’m Gabriel and I’m a first year Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence student. I have always been obsessed with computers and knew I wanted to go into the industry from quite a young age. University was the obvious choice to me; it gave me a good path towards my future career and the whole aspect of it appealed to me. The best thing about university is being able to study a subject you're passionate about surrounded by others who feel the same. I am still unsure as to exactly which area of computer science I want to go into, but this is common, and I still have a few years of university left to help me figure this out. Feel free to ask me any questions! Jasper
