Course Overview

The LLB in Corporate Law is a three-year UK Level 6 honours degree with part-time and accelerated routes, calibrated to the corporate legal practice that defines the City of London. Covering foundational law modules alongside a corporate specialism, the degree includes a year-two placement in chambers, a City firm, an in-house team or a regulator and closes with a final-year capstone or dissertation.

By graduation you will be reading share purchase agreements, drafting board minutes and shareholder resolutions, running due-diligence exercises on a live company target, and defending an original dissertation on a corporate-law question. The degree is a strong foundation for later SQE preparation and pupillage routes, though it is not itself a route to solicitor or barrister qualification.
