2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Business, Film and Media - Transfer to Bachelor of Law (Honours) - Law

Program Description This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre at the University of Sussex followed by entry into a university program offered at the University of Sussex. In your International Foundation Year, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon the successful completion of the pathway program.

The International Foundation Year in Business, Media and Social Sciences will familiarize you with a wide area of study for your intended degree. You will develop your critical thinking skills, creativity, analytical and team working skills, providing you with the most crucial skills required as a successful graduate.

In this LLB, you’ll gain a solid grounding in English law as well as exploring international, European and Canadian law. You will also cover:

• how the law regulates the relationship between the individual and the state • how the law responds to dealings between individuals and groups • theoretical and practical aspects of law

You’re taught by research-active faculty, and will join a vibrant community with an active student law body. You may undertake training to offer legal advice to the public (under supervision) and, through the Sussex Law Clinics, you can gain valuable work experience of the law in action before you graduate. We also have links with leading law firms that sponsor our student competitions in national and international mooting, criminal advocacy, client interviewing, negotiation, mediation and legal debating.

Studying law develops your skills of analysis, argument and persuasion, equipping you for a variety of careers. Our supportive group of alumni are happy to provide career advice for current students. Successful completion of any of our law courses will provide you with a qualifying law degree.
