First Year Pathway in Law and Policing - Continue to Bachelor of Laws - Law

Students will be introduced to the core skills necessary to succeed in higher education, including thinking critically, researching and referencing appropriately, demonstrating appropriate numeracy and ICT skills, and communicating effectively verbally and in writing. Students will also be introduced to specific concepts related to their degree programmes including an introduction to the English legal system, business law, criminal law and the criminal justice system and ethics. Real-world examples of the law in action will be highlighted, and students will practice applying the law to case studies. The LLB (Hons) Law degree is accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Boards, so students know they are in good hands. Study in Cambridge or Chelmsford, work with qualified solicitors in law clinics, and practise a craft in mock court rooms.

If students hope to use their legal skills in other areas – such as business, finance, policy making or public service – the law course will give students the transferable skills they need.
