Law LLB and Law LLB Accelerated Welcome Pack
Welcome to LLB Law and LLB Law Accelerated 2025.
Our LLB courses have been carefully designed to reflect the changes to legal education and to support your journey into a variety of careers, both within and beyond the legal profession. Whether you’re aiming for the Bar, preparing for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), or simply exploring where a legal education can take you, this course will provide the foundation you need.
During your studies, you will cover the seven foundations of legal knowledge required for progression to the Bar Training Course. You may also have the opportunity to choose optional modules that align with key SQE areas, including civil litigation, business law, and criminal litigation.
Across the course, you’ll build skills in critical thinking, legal research, problem-solving, and communication; skills that are valuable in many professions.
We have an experienced team of Law tutors who are looking forward to meeting you and supporting you throughout your time at the University. If you would like to know what the Law Team is up to, then please do follow us on X @LawNorthampton.
We hope you find the information below useful and look forward to meeting you in September. Welcome to the next stage of your journey.
