Why Law?

Whether you’re intending to use the LLB degree as the start of your legal career in the legal profession, or as the stepping stone for other career opportunities, make Huddersfield Law School your first choice to what could be a brilliant, dynamic and rewarding future.

Giving you the very best in legal teaching, this degree gives you access to seven Foundations of Legal Knowledge (FLK) modules as well as many different optional modules from your second year onwards with a whole third year devoted to your own choices. You can create a business law pathway, social justice and human rights pathway or focus on wider areas of law such as family law, environmental law or international law. This degree is for students who choose careers both in law, both solicitor and barrister as well as the wider associated professions in business, finance, education, public policy and; public service, for instance and also provides the ideal bridge towards postgraduate study.

Taking a Huddersfield Law School degree means you can choose to take an LLB in Law, LLB in Law and Practice or an MLaw (incorporating LLB) as an integrated Masters in Law and Practice. Whichever pathway you choose, all degree programmes support you in exploring your options and the career path you wish to take and you can change your route right through into your second year and choose the path that is best for you, for your final year. We also offer an LLB in Law with Criminology, if you want to study a different discipline alongside law.

As well as gaining an understanding of the law itself, studying a law degree will teach you a wide range of essential transferrable skills such as how to construct an argument, how to present yourself and your ideas, the importance of attention to detail, and the ability to work in a team as well as on your own initiative. We’ll help you to build your employability skills while you study, making you stand out to potential employers.
