About this programme

Our strong industry links, work experience opportunities and specialised Law Careers Advisors will help you turn your passion for law into a rewarding career. The Brunel Law LLB gives you the chance to earn a law degree and develop a dynamic perspective of English law – not only what the law is, but why it is. You’ll learn the theories and principles underlying the law and acquire the research, analytical and communication skills you’ll need for a successful legal career. We offer two study options. You can choose three years full-time, or four years full-time with a professional placement year between years two and three that will give you hands-on experience working in a legal practice. You can tailor the final year of your course to specialise in an area of law of interest to you. You’ll be able to discuss career ideas with your careers advisor and get 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 you'll finish your degree as a professional, sought-after graduate. We work with industry partners such as Macfarlane's LLP and Morgan Blake LLP to offer students scholarship and work experience opportunities.
