Overview

Law at BCU

Our flexible LLB degree in Law allows you to follow your own path in your second and final year, giving you the opportunity to focus more on criminal justice, business and commercial law, or social justice depending on your interests and career goals.

We offer a diverse and practise-based LLB Law course, which enables you to take the first step to becoming a solicitor or barrister, as well as being a foundation for numerous other careers.

What's covered in this course?

Employability has been embedded throughout the degree to support your career aspirations. At the heart of this is our Law Clinic, which offers you the ability to engage with a whole range of real-world briefs and clients in multiple areas of Law, including Immigration Law and Welfare Clinics, while you study. Placement modules and volunteer opportunities are also a key part of the course to expose you to the real world of the Law.

The Law is wide and varied, and so is our course. While you will follow a set programme of study during your first year, you will have flexibility in your second and final year to pursue optional modules and customise your degree to align with your interests and future career ambitions. We support you by suggesting routes you could select from, including Criminal Justice, Commercial Law, and subjects commonly used by a ‘high street lawyer’, which can help you to focus on developing skills, knowledge and understanding in the areas most closely aligned to your career aspirations. Among these are a wide range of module options at Levels 5 and 6, allowing you to approach your degree with flexibility and personalisation.

For example, if Criminal Justice becomes your focus you could opt for modules in Criminal Justice Process and Procedure, Human Rights in Criminal Justice, Evidence, Proof and Argument, Crime and Punishment, Advanced Crime, and Introduction to US Criminal Law but if your interest lies in Business Law or Commercial Law you have the opportunity to choose Company Law, Legal Technology, Sustainability and the Law, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Employment Law, Intellectual Property Law, and EU Single Market. Similarly, you might want to tailor your course towards Social Justice, in which case you may opt to modules in Human Rights in Criminal Law, Medical Law and Ethics, Family Law, Immigration Law, United Nations Law and Practice, and Law in Practice (and get involved in our award-winning Law Clinic).

Creating an excellent learning experience is our priority. We concentrate on delivering outstanding teaching from staff who are experienced in either research or practice, so that you receive a ‘hands on’ approach to become confident, creative, resilient and responsible as you progress towards your preferred career.

We also encourage you to engage in extracurricular activities to support your learning, with student societies, such as the highly successful Mooting & Debating Society. Alongside this there are opportunities to engage with the wider Birmingham legal community through our connections with the Birmingham Law Society, the largest regional law society in the UK. Our close links with the Citizens Advice Bureau and Support Through Court also offer you a wide range of choices to ensure that you are experiencing different forms of Law and practice, through our Law Clinic. This clinic allows you to volunteer with these and other organisations to begin applying your practical skills and gain legal experience.

Professional Placement year

This course offers an optional professional placement year. This allows you to spend a whole year with an employer, following successful completion of your second year, and is a great way to find out more about your chosen career. Some students even return to the same employers after completing their studies.

If you choose to pursue a placement year, you will need to find a suitable placement to complement your chosen area of study. You will be able to draw on the University’s extensive network of local, regional, and national employers, and the support of our Careers teams. If you are able to secure a placement, you can request to be transferred to the placement version of the course.

Please note that fees are payable during your placement year, equivalent to 20% of the total full-time course fee for that year.

Why Choose Us?

Our award-winning Law Clinic allows you to gain experience of real cases, real clients and real-world legal problems. There are also opportunities to develop your advocacy and professional skills through placements, volunteering, and mooting and debating.

We embed skills for professional employment throughout your course. The degree supports progression towards the solicitor and barrister pathways, while also preparing you for a wide range of other graduate careers. You can also choose a professional placement year to gain substantial workplace experience before graduating.

After building a strong foundation in your first year, you can personalise your degree through a wide range of optional modules. These allow you to develop interests in areas such as criminal justice, commercial and business law, family law, human rights, and legal technology.

We first offered Law courses back in 1934, meaning we have over 90 years’ history of educating legal professionals in Birmingham and beyond. Law cannot be understood in isolation from the society it serves, so today you would join a diverse academic community where legal study connects with current social, political and economic issues.

You will be taught by researchers who are actively addressing some of the most important legal and social challenges of our time. We have expertise in areas including human rights, American legal studies, social justice, and law, science and technology, meaning you will learn from academics at the forefront of contemporary legal debates, policy and practice in the UK and internationally.

Our global outlook extends beyond the classroom. Eligible students can pursue opportunities through our Law in Practice International module, overseas exchanges, international visits and summer programmes, including the UK’s largest student internship programme to the USA and our partnership with Pace University in New York, allowing you to explore law across different jurisdictions and develop international networks.

Why do you want to study this course or subject?

Here’s where you explain what makes this course exciting to you. Think about your motivations for studying the course and your future plans. If you’re planning to take a year out, don't forget to give your reasons.

How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course or subject?
