Course Overview

The LLB in Civil Law is a three-year UK Level 6 undergraduate law degree with a specialist stream in the substantive law of civil obligations and civil procedure: contract, tort, property, equity and trusts, family, employment, and civil dispute resolution under the Civil Procedure Rules. Core modules meet the substantive-law expectations for SQE preparation and Bar-route progression. Part-time and accelerated routes are available.

By graduation you will have argued civil moots, drafted particulars of claim and defences, prepared case management submissions and a full civil-litigation strategy, and produced a final-year dissertation on a live civil-justice question. Your year-two placement will sit inside a civil chambers, a City litigation team, a legal-aid firm or a civil-justice NGO. The LLB is a strong foundation for SQE, Bar Practice Course and CILEX practitioner routes and does not itself confer a right to practise.
