Law is respected, influential, and intellectually challenging. It sharpens your thinking, strengthens your voice, and gives you the confidence to stand your ground.

On our LLB Law degree, you’ll explore the systems, structures, and principles that shape everyday life. You’ll question them, challenge them, and learn how to apply them to legal practice.

As part of this degree in law, you’ll:

* Develop a deep understanding of the legal systems, rules, and practices that regulate society

* Explore commercial and social relationships through a legal lens

* Analyse and challenge contemporary legal issues

* Build strategic solutions to complex legal problems

* Communicate with clarity, authority, and confidence using precise legal language

* Gain sought-after transferable skills, such as communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical reasoning, that employers value across sectors

Whether you see yourself in court, business, government, or shaping policy, you’ll graduate ready to make your mark, in one of the largest legal centres outside London.

Professionally recognised

If you’re aiming to qualify as a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales, this course gives you the rigorous legal foundation you need to take the next step towards professional qualification.

Try before you apply

Watch our Springpod Subject Spotlight - The LGBT+ community and law through time - to explore how legal developments have shaped, and been shaped by, social change.

You’ll also have opportunities to attend experience days, short internships, and insight events.

Pro Bono- real clients, real impact

Through our Law Clinic , you’ll help provide confidential, free legal advice to members of the public, gaining invaluable, CV-boosting experience while making a real difference.

You can also volunteer with Support Through Court , a charity helping litigants in person navigate court processes – you can even do a short placement before you start your studies with us. Or you could join our Street Law programme , delivering practical legal education on issues such as criminal law, social media, and workplace discrimination.

Law Trove

We subscribe to Law Trove , an online service from Oxford University Press worth over £200, meaning you can save money on expensive textbooks. You’ll have access to hundreds of core law texts to read online, download chapters, and print what you need.

### Changes to legal education and training

Legal education and training has been subject to a detailed review by professional regulators in the legal sector. The review has examined the routes to qualification as a barrister or solicitor.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has introduced the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) route to qualification . Those who successfully complete one of our undergraduate law degrees can move on to the next stages of qualification as a solicitor in England and Wales (completion of the SQE 1 and SQE 2).

The Bar Standards Board (BSB) no longer requires the study of a Qualifying Law Degree (QLD). However, the study of what are referred to as the 'seven legal foundations of knowledge' is still required before the vocational stage of bar training. All of our undergraduate law degrees meet this requirement, and graduates can progress to the vocational component of Bar training .

Students may also wish to consider entering the legal profession by qualifying as a Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEX) lawyer by undertaking the CILEX Professional Qualification .

You can find out more about the changes at our open days and applicant days .

At Leeds Beckett we look for students who demonstrate a good knowledge, curiosity and passion for your chosen course and would benefit from the University’s learning environment.

We aim to give every student a fair chance to progress and succeed on their chosen course and we recognise that your grades may not always reflect your true potential. Therefore, when assessing your application, we will consider the following:

* Your completed qualifications (such as GCSEs, A Levels, and their equivalents).

* Your predicted grades in future examinations.

* Your personal statement.

##### Our offers

All our offers are made by trained professionals who are committed to making offers that are appropriate to each applicant, regardless of their background.* They have the discretion to vary the level of offer to ensure every student with the potential to succeed at Leeds Beckett receives an offer that is achievable for them.

This could mean that you may receive an offer to study on this course with lower (predicted or achieved) UCAS Tariff Points than our published tariff.  Your offer will be based on our belief that you are capable of benefiting from, and successfully completing, your course. We believe that it is people who think differently, independently, people with ‘unlike-minds' that make big things happen.

Please ensure that you list both your qualifications and any relevant work experience in your application so that we can consider you under both schemes where applicable. All applicants should meet our standard entry requirements of GCSE grade 4 in English language and, where specified, Maths. Alternative qualifications such as functional skills are accepted in lieu of GCSEs for most courses.

This module will introduce you to the study of law and the English legal system. You'll develop the key skills to acquire and apply legal knowledge. As you progress, you'll gain an understanding of the operations of the English legal system, including its personnel and structure. You'll also begin to understand the law-making and judicial reasoning process. To conclude, you'll learn to research and analyse primary sources of law as well as authoritative secondary sources.

This module will help you to understand how a contract is created. You'll study the terms of the contract that determine the obligations of each party, as well as the specific terms concerned with liability. You'll also consider the remedies and damages available in the event of a breach of contract.

Criminal law plays an important role in everyday life, affecting both individuals and society. This module will consider the foundations of criminal liability in a practical, applied way, enabling you to draw the link between academic study and courtroom practice. You'll examine some of the key ingredients of criminal liability such as underpinning principles of individual autonomy and the harm principles, actus reus, mens rea and causation.

You'll then move on to study selected offences and defences which are commonly encountered in practice. This module will also look at criminal attempts as well as participation in crime. Your study will enable you to develop the knowledge to understand and apply criminal law. Ultimately, you'll learn to approach the question of liability in a logical way and to undertake independent research to find legal solutions.

During this module, you'll begin to understand the key concepts of public law as you study the relationships between the institutions of state. You'll gain an insight into the historical progression of the UK constitution. This will include exploring developments from over the last 50 years of international treaties and agreements that have contributed to it. In addition, you'll study a variety of topics including the rule of law, human rights and judicial review.

Develop the employability skills and wider attributes sought by employers in both the legal and non-legal sectors. This module will help to enhance your CV and build an online presence that will support your professional aspirations. We'll cover everything that could boost your career outcomes within and beyond traditional legal roles.

You'll develop a strong understanding of the core legal principles of property and land law, allowing you to confidently evaluate and apply these principles to practical scenarios.

Study the circumstances in which organisations and individuals who have suffered harm at the hands of others might be able to claim compensation from the wrongdoer. Initially, you'll concentrate on negligence before studying other key and topical areas such trespass to the person.

Learn practical advocacy skills and knowledge to present cases before courts and tribunals. This module will build on the understanding of substantive law you gained in your first year as you move towards being able to practically demonstrate that knowledge in short advocacy submissions. Your submissions will cross over civil and criminal law and include opposed and unopposed performance opportunities.

Develop an understanding of the principles of child law. You'll study the principles in the context of rapidly changing value systems, state intervention and the law’s influence on and regulation of the child in the family. You'll learn to relate laws and legal systems affecting the child, looking at both legal and non-legal solutions, to child law problems and developing the student’s problem-solving skills.

During your study, you'll undertake the role of a paralegal and gain a grounding in the principles of professional conduct as outlined by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and CILEX. You'll also study matters relating to client care and some of the key legal skills relevant to practice, including interviewing, legal writing and negotiation.

Develop a practical overview of the key modes of procurement and delivery of building and infrastructure projects in the UK. You'll study their social value and the roles of the primary stakeholders. This module will then explore the risks which adversely impact construction work and how they are allocated and managed. As you study the risks, you'll focus on the contractual, tortious and statutory liabilities of procurers, end-users, contractors, subcontractors, designers and construction professionals.

You'll be given a grounding in key features of the standard-form contracts typically used for construction projects and the sub-contracting, claims and dispute resolution practices unique to the industry.

Gain an understanding of the legislation and case law which shape the development of family law. This module will help you to build the key skills of interpreting statutory provisions and illustrating judicial decision making in areas reliant on judicial discretion. You’ll evaluate the legal concepts and issues discussed, considering how the law applies in the real world when developing problem-solving skills to everyday family issues.

Explore current and emerging technologies that are being used within the legal services landscape. This module will emphasise technologies likely to play a significant role in the future of the legal profession. You'll also study the skills you'll need as a graduate working in the digitally enhanced legal workplace.

Study theoretical perspectives drawing on classic jurisprudence as well as other theories such as feminist theory, queer theory, critical race theory and Marxist theory. You’ll be introduced to these theories through a critique of legal education before then applying them to legal issues currently topical and/or controversial.

Explore the ways in which the law has been used to facilitate international trade.
