Senior Status
If you have a non-law degree, our LLB (Hons) Law with Senior Status allows you to gain a professionally accredited law degree in just two years, and can be studied online.
This programme is also available to study as an online distance learning course, giving you a flexible route to study your degree.
With the opportunity to complete the course on campus or by distance learning, this course is particularly suitable for overseas students whose home professional bodies require a traditional LLB.
Legal skills and knowledge are developed at a level of application appropriate to those who have already obtained study skills through a previous degree or equivalent qualification. If you have already gained a Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), you will be given accreditation for prior learning.
You will study foundation legal subjects, which are compulsory for a qualifying law degree, and can also choose from a range of optional modules offered by the School of Law and Social Science. You will undertake four options of your choice, including a research module where you can follow your interests.
