Course summary
LLB Law with Politics combines a distinctive approach to legal education from a globally recognised institution, bringing together academic study and practice-led approaches to law, with complementary units taught by colleagues in one of the largest politics departments in the country.
You will study the foundations of law in England and Wales as well as leading approaches to politics and international relations, enabling you to understand the relationship between law and politics through comprehensive study.
You will be able to tailor your degree to your specific interests by choosing from a range of optional units offered by our diverse team of experienced academics and practitioners.

Volunteering here gives you the opportunity to contribute to our partnerships with the public, charitable and private sectors and play your part in our commitment to social responsibility.
