Why Study at LSLPE

LSLPE reads immigration law inside a school where the human-rights, public-law and international-relations dimensions of migration policy are taught by staff working across three departments. The LLB in Immigration Law shares selected modules with the Politics and PPE departments and gives students a route into the leading advice-sector practices.

Central London puts the Royal Courts of Justice, the Immigration and Asylum Chamber and the leading immigration chambers within a short tube ride of every classroom. Three parallel study modes let working caseworkers continue in employment while they complete the LLB. The programme is a strong foundation for the SQE and Bar routes, though qualifying as a solicitor or barrister requires separate SRA and BSB-regulated steps. The careers service refreshes curriculum alignment annually against SRA, BSB and CILEX guidance.
