This course combines practical skills with academic learning by offering you the chance to spend your third year on a paid legal work placement, allowing you to apply what you have learnt and gain a valuable insight into professional practice. The year on placement will give you a head start in the jobs market after graduation. With an award-winning pro bono scheme, mooting club, thriving student law society, school magazine, international summer schools, and social and networking events there are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved with Law School life and really make the most out of your time here. Your knowledge and understanding will be assessed by a diverse range of methods that reflect the skills required. You will take part in: oral presentations; mooting exercises; case analysis; research projects; group projects; problem-solving assignments; both seen and unseen examinations. On placement you will be supported by a visiting tutor and you will be assessed based on the work you undertake for the firm. This doesn't count towards your degree classification but it will count towards the award of the Diploma in Professional Practice. A Law degree doesn't just have to lead to a career as a solicitor or barrister however. On our LLB course you will gain a host of transferable skills and an appreciation of the law that many employers will value.
