Bachelor of Laws (Honours) - Law with International Arbitration and Commercial Law (MDM2)

The Brunel LLB Law with International Arbitration and Commercial Law gives students the opportunity to earn a qualifying law degree with specialist knowledge of international arbitration and commercial law.

Along with the requirements of the traditional LLB degree students will learn commercial, international and comparative law and about cross-border transactions and cross-cultural dispute resolution.

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

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 throughout their time at Brunel.

With its foundation of English law and practice and its focus on arbitration and commercial law this degree will stand graduates in good stead for lucrative cross-border fields of legal practice.

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.
