Bachelor of Laws (Honours) - Law (M103)

The Brunel Law LLB gives students the chance to earn a qualifying law degree and develop a dynamic perspective of English law – not only what the law is, but why it is.

Students will learn the theories and principles underlying the law and acquire the research, analytical and communication skills they need for a successful legal career.

Brunel offers two study options. Students can choose three years full-time, or four years full-time with a professional placement year between years two and three that will give them hands-on experience working in a legal practice.

Students can tailor the final year of their course to specialise in an area of law of particular interest to them.

All of Brunel's students have careers advisers with whom they can discuss career ideas with and who can offer guidance on placements and further study options.

Employers know that law graduates have a variety of useful, transferable skills that make them excellent employment prospects in both legal and non-legal careers so students will finish their degree as a professionally sought-after graduate.

The solicitors qualification route will change from 1 September 2021. To qualify as a solicitor students will need a degree and to pass the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), Parts 1 and 2. The Brunel LLB provides a solid grounding in the core legal subjects aspiring solicitors need to know. There will be a transitional period applicable to students who have completed, started, accepted an offer of a place or paid a non-refundable deposit by 21 September 2021 (inclusive) for a qualifying law degree (QLD) as long as they started their course by 31 December 2021. These students will have had the option of taking either the 'QLD route' or the 'SQE route'. Brunel LLB programme is a QLD for these purposes. Those students who opted for the QLD route by 1 September 2021 will have until 31 December 2031 to qualify as a solicitor, as long as courses still remain available. To qualify as a barrister students will need a law degree which covers the foundations of legal knowledge subjects, which the Brunel LLB does.
