Our internationally recognised university Law degree programmes give exemptions from the Solicitors Regulatory Authority and the Bar Standards Board professional examinations: the LLB (Hons) and the BSc (Hons) Law with Management, both awarded by the University of Plymouth and studied in Greenwich, London.

There are few areas of modern life where the law does not have some impact. Whether it’s driving your car or renting a flat, it is inevitable that the law will have an effect on our lifestyle. Thus, the study of law and the legal system is an ever popular choice for those entering higher education.

A law degree will equip you with the skills required to tackle complex analytical scenarios in a legal environment, developing problem solving skills and an ability to offer advice on certain aspects of the law. An LLB (Hons) or a BSc (Hons) Law with Management degree is not just a form of training for potential lawyers; it is a valuable degree in its own right with application across the professional spectrum.

Whether you choose to study the LLB(Hons) or the BSc(Hons) Law with management, the School is confident that they will acquire a set of transferable skills that will provide a platform on which to build a successful career in and outside the legal profession.

The Law Society

Electing to study the LLB (Hons) or the BSc (Hons) Law with management at the School may be some students’ first experience of law in a theoretic sense and they have been developed to ensure that they will gain a sound understanding of the fundamental principles.

The degrees, awarded by the University of Plymouth, are internationally recognised. They have been developed to offer students the full qualifying foundation areas of law needed for exemption on vocational courses laid down by the Joint Academic Stage Board of the Law Society and the Bar Council of England and Wales.

On successful completion of the LLB(Hons) students will be qualified to enrol onto the professional stage of training to become a barrister on the Bar Vocational Course or alternatively train to be a Solicitor on a Legal Practice Course. When students graduate with a BSc(Hons) Law with management degree, a partial exemption from the foundations of legal knowledge will be awarded. Thus, giving them the option of completing additional law modules in order for them to gain entry onto the professional vocational courses.
