This course prepares students for a wide range of rewarding careers in law and related professions.
This desirable LLB (Hons) develops extensive knowledge and skills relevant to business and the legal profession.
If youre aiming to be a solicitor or a barrister, the course meets the requirements of being a Qualifying Law Degree (QLD) provided for by the professional law bodies. Students who choose this route and satisfy the relevant professional regulations can progress directly to the vocational stage of training to become a solicitor or barrister.
If youre looking to pursue a different career path, this flexible course enables you to plan for careers in related areas such as criminology, social law or commercial law. So whether youre interested in obtaining the Qualifying Law Degree or in following another career route, the LLB (Hons) is ideal preparation.
Key elements include:
As a law student, youll build contacts and insight through the Southampton City Law Network. Set up by the University to promote the interests of local law students, law teachers, lawyers and other professionals, the Network holds regular events and ensures up-to-date teaching, learning and professional knowledge.
Employability is at the heart of this course and students have a range of opportunities to put their learning into practice. Our exciting mooting programme includes a moot court room where students practice their knowledge and legal skills.
Students are able to hold mooting competitions and apply their legal skills in research, argument and presentations. Also, the course is designed with a flexible route providing you with additional opportunities to pursue personal and professional development.
Following graduation, many students proceed to the vocational stage of legal training, either the Legal Practice Course towards becoming a solicitor, or the Bar Professional Training Course for those wishing to progress to a career as a barrister. A significant number of law students pursue careers in business, finance, compliance, the police service and paralegal work.

Universities in the United Kingdom use a centralized system of undergraduate application: University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). It is used by both domestic and international students. Students have to register on the UCAS website before applying to the university. They will find all the necessary information about the application process on this website. Some graduate courses also require registration on this website, but in most cases students have to apply directly to the university. Some universities also accept undergraduate application through Common App (the information about it could be found on universities' websites).
Both undergraduate and graduate students may receive three types of responses from the university. The first one, “unconditional offer” means that you already reached all requirements and may be admitted to the university. The second one, “conditional offer” makes your admission possible if you fulfill some criteria – for example, have good grades on final exams. The third one, “unsuccessful application” means that you, unfortunately, could not be admitted to the university of you choice.
All universities require personal statement, which should include the reasons to study in the UK and the information about personal and professional goals of the student and a transcript, which includes grades received in high school or in the previous university.
