    Course Summary

    The University of Cumbria’s LLB program is a Qualifying Law Degree, and prepares students to enter into a Training contract in order to become a Solicitor or Barrister in the UK courts. It is one of the few such programs which can lay claim to a 100% satisfaction rating in the 2018 national Student Survey.

    This course is fully accredited by the Bar Standards Board and the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and is an excellent choice for any career which requires a knowledge of the law or touches upon the courts, crafting legislation or regulations, or enforcing the law.

    You’ll learn both the academic and writing skills associated with the legal profession as well as the vital client facing skills you’ll need to succeed in a legal career. These include individual and team negotiation, mediation, client interaction, witness interviews moot and mock court proceedings and attending court on Advocacy Training Days.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
