Law (Graduate Programme) LLB

University of Sheffield

Our two-year LLB Law course is ideal for you if you already have a degree in a non-law subject and wish to gain fast-track access to a qualifying law degree without compromising on rigour and your future options.

Covering the Bar Standard Board’s foundations of legal knowledge, this two-year graduate entry LLB course will equip you with a critical understanding of the English legal system while allowing for specialisation according to your career goals.

You’ll learn the foundations of a common law system, contract, tort, property, constitutional and administrative law of England and Wales, equity and trusts, criminal law and EU & international law, with the opportunity to delve into your topics of interest through a range of optional modules.

Throughout your course, you’ll build key transferable skills that are sought after by employers and can be applied in the legal field, as well as across a range of industries and roles.

If you intend to practise law in another jurisdiction, our two-year LLB degree will be recognised as giving you a foundational knowledge and understanding of core common law principles. You’ll build the relevant skills to learn and understand legal rules effectively, so that you can undertake a jurisdictional bar course relevant to the jurisdiction(s) in which you wish to practise. It may also give you certain exemptions from some common law subjects.
