Law (accelerated) - LLB (Hons)

The 2-year accelerated LLB is designed for individuals who have a previous higher education qualification or equivalent professional experience and who now want to pursue their passions for law. On this accelerated LLB, you are taught the same core legal modules as the three-year LLB. You'll learn the fundamentals of law and basic legal skills for practice within Wales, the UK, Europe, and wider international community. We prioritise your employability by embedding essential, transferrable skills from day one, including research abilities, analytical thinking, active listening, confident communication, and the ability to form sound arguments – skills that position you for success in any career path. You will apply your understanding of legal principles, rules, doctrine, skills and values to legal problems and contemporary issues, helping you appreciate how law works in practice. In doing so, you’ll be supported to develop the confidence and skills to ask and answer cogent questions about the law and effectively communicate reasoned arguments, both orally and in writing. This course not only meets the academic requirements for qualification as a barrister (Bar Standards Board compliant), but also provides essential knowledge for aspiring solicitors. You can also choose vocational subjects tested in the Solicitors’ Qualifying Examinations (SQE) providing you with a gateway to professional training to become a solicitor.
