You may have heard that legal education is changing. Our Law LLB (Hons) course has been redesigned to meet those changes and will provide you with an excellent grounding as you take your first steps towards a legal career. The LLB Law degree at the University of Northampton covers the seven foundations of legal knowledge required to meet the core academic requirements required by the Bar Standard Board for entry onto the Bar Training Course. For students who aspire to become solicitors, our LLB course has been designed to help you prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) as alongside the traditional foundations of legal knowledge there are additional optional modules covering SQE topics such as civil litigation, property law and practice, business law and criminal litigation. A law degree is not just for those who wish to pursue a legal career; it equips you with a great many skills which are desired by the graduate jobs market. We know that not all our students will wish to enter the legal profession and we have designed our course programme to offer flexibility so that you can choose options which match your interests and will help you to achieve your goals.

As a law student at The University of Northampton you can engage in a wide range of extra-curricular activities including:
Brian’s StoryBrian is a current LLB Law student who, after a competitive application process, was selected for the Stephen Lawrence Scholarship. The Scholarship works to address the disproportionate under-representation of black and black mixed-race men from less socially mobile backgrounds in large commercial law firms. Brian has just returned to his studies after completing the 15-month scholarship at Freshfields.Talking about the experience, Brian said ‘I’ve enjoyed the mix of legal work, from exerises in contract drafting and checking to wider business problems with other departments at Freshfields, as well as meeting and networking with contacts at other leading City law firms.’
By the time you graduate with an LLB Law Degree, you will have developed a range of skills which will enhance your employability, whether in the legal profession or in another career.
We work closely with the University Centre for Employability and Engagement (UCEE), who will support you with your career planning.
You will also have the opportunity to attend the annual Law Careers Fair and University Careers Fair which offers the opportunity to meet with potential future employers.
