Bachelor of Laws (Honours) - International Law (Sandwich Year)

The International Law LLB (Hons) course explores the role of law within a globalised society, whilst providing students with a foundational understanding of the law in England and Wales. In doing so, the course aims to prepare globally aware leaders in law. The International Law LLB (Hons) degree has been designed so that it is capable of satisfying the academic component of Bar training as required by the Bar Standards Board.

Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

• Critically analyse theories, concepts and principles of laws across diverse substantive legal areas, appreciating the role of law within a globalised context.
• Appreciate and apply principles of sustainability, social responsibility and professional ethics, whilst being cognisant of diverse cultural and global perspectives.
• Identify and synthesise relevant information from primary and secondary legal sources, using both digital and non-digital resources, whilst adhering to principles of academic integrity.
• Draw reasoned conclusions through the application of legal principles and knowledge to complex problems, whilst tolerating ambiguity and recognising alternative legal outcomes.
• Communicate effectively and professionally, by conveying and explaining legal information, ideas and arguments appropriately in a variety of contexts.

Law graduates can pursue a wide variety of careers both in the UK and overseas. Many graduates enter the legal profession as solicitors, barristers, paralegals or legal executives (additional education/courses and training required). However, the skills learned are also transferrable to career paths outside of law such as recruitment, management, teaching or finance.
