Law - University of Brighton

Our qualifying Law LLB(Hons) degree combines academic study with opportunities to experience law in practice, preparing you for a career as a legal professional or as a legal specialist within an organisation. Taken over three years, or four years with an optional salaried placement, core learning provides practical skills in presentation, negotiation, oration, mooting and advocacy and develops an understanding of the English legal system. This degree is currently recognised by the Solicitors Regulation (SRA) Authority and the Bar Standards Board. It is a qualifying law degree, which means that Law LLB(Hons) graduates will have completed the academic stage of training for entry into the legal profession. The SRA have announced that they are introducing a new qualifying exam – the Solicitors Qualification Exam (SQE) – which will replace of the existing Legal Practice Course. There's more information on this change in the Solicitors Qualification Exam section below. This course is one of three LLB courses offered by Brighton Business School, alongside Law with Business LLB(Hons) and Law with Criminology LLB(Hons). **Don’t meet these entry requirements?** The University of Brighton Law LLB (Hons) with integrated foundation year provides an extra year of study at foundation level for students who do not hold the academic qualifications or experience required for entry to this course. Successful completion of the foundation year enables you to progress onto year 1 of this degree.
