LLB (Hons) Law

at University of West London

This law degree lets you focus on applying knowledge in practice, using real-world legal scenarios. All modules are taught with reference to current legal practice, in order to keep you up to date with ongoing changes in the profession. 
 

We aim to give you a well-rounded education in all aspects of the law, so you will experience:

• close interaction with teaching staff
• pre-course support to help you prepare for your studies
• field trips to locations such as the European Court of Human Rights, Supreme Court, Old Bailey, Inns of Court
• regular mooting competitions – your chance to practice your skills in a simulated courtroom scene
• the opportunity to compete for student prizes.
   

In addition, you will have the chance to learn from the wisdom and experience of leading guest speakers, including academics, barristers, judges and solicitors. Their expertise will raise your awareness of how the law operates in the real world.
 

During your final year, you will be able to gain work experience that allows you to put what you have learned into context in a professional work environment. You could work with an agency, such as the Citizens Advice Bureau or the Free Representation Network, Ealing Law Centre, West London Equality Centre and several other local and national services.
