Law (Senior Status)

The LLB (Hons) Law Senior Status is a specifically designed degree for students who already hold an undergraduate degree and want to convert to law study over a two year period. Studying our degree will also prepare you in part for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE1) or Bar Practice Course (to qualify as a barrister).

This degree is taught by the same experienced, professional lecturers as our standard three year LLB, using the same high-quality teaching methods. The course combines academic rigour with practical legal skills, providing you with the essential groundwork of your legal education while you study with other students in a professional business-like environment.

The Senior Status degree is a particularly good choice for overseas students because you may benefit from some exemptions in your home jurisdiction – a good example of this is the Canadian Law modules available as electives in your second year. We recommend that you check any possible exemptions within your home jurisdiction prior to undertaking the course.

During our LLB Senior Status degree, you will develop excellent research and analytical skills and learn to present your ideas effectively both verbally and in writing. The course provides students with a wide range of analytical and transferable skills and is suitable for any profession requiring a non-specialised degree.
