Course overview

This course is designed to be the most focused professional law degree available. For students who wish to study a practically focused intensive course in two years, and wish to pursue a career in the legal sector. It’s a faster more intensive route, taught by the same tutors and using the same high-quality teaching methods as our three-year law degree.

In the 2020 National Student Survey, The University of Law has been ranked first amongst universities for overall student satisfaction in England. In 2019, The University of Law was awarded a silver rating in the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF).

We were found to deliver high-quality teaching, learning and outcomes for our students and consistently exceed rigorous national quality requirements for UK higher education.

JD Canadian Pathway (London Bloomsbury campus only): if you’re interested in practising law in Canada or a Canadian university graduate, this course has a Canadian pathway offering modules in Canadian Law that will help prepare you for the Canadian NCA (National Committee on Accreditation) exams.

* The law modules are ‘Foundations of Canadian Law’ and ‘Canadian Constitutional Law’ and are available at the London Bloomsbury campus only. ‘Foundations of Canadian Law’ will give you a sound knowledge of the history, principles and main sources of the Canadian legal system, while the ‘Canadian Constitutional Law’ module concerns the history of Canadian Constitutional law and basic constitutional principles.

In order to take the JD Canadian pathway, you should apply for the course at the London Bloomsbury campus, then select the optional Canadian modules during your studies. *Important Notice: You are advised to make your own enquiries with any professional bodies to which you may seek admission, to determine whether you will meet all their requirements, including academic, character and suitability requirements. The University cannot be held responsible for any decisions subsequently taken by a professional body concerning these requirements.”

Assessment

Assessments are spread out throughout the duration of the course, rather than having lots of exams at the end of the year.  This means at the end of each semester, you have a revision/consolidation week followed by two weeks for assessment in each module.

Method of assessment

Throughout the course, you are assessed by a variety of different assessment methods to enable you to demonstrate the development of your knowledge and skills throughout the programme. The methods of assessment include:

Examinations – Two hours, ten multiple-choice questions and a choice of two from six long-form questions.

Coursework – Essay, project report or portfolio.

Oral presentation.

The range of assessment methods reflects the practical nature of the programme and aligns the assessment with the learning outcomes of the programme. A mock assessment is included.

You must pass each module to be awarded your LLB (Hons) Law Degree. The pass mark for each subject is 40%.

Course Structure

Each year is made up of two semesters consisting of 12 teaching weeks and one-week consolidation/revision and two weeks to complete assessments. You will study four modules per semester. Over the summer at the end of each year you study one module; so a total of nine modules a year.

  • Year 1: 39 study weeks including a one-week induction
  • Year 2: 38 study weeks plus one week optional International Leadership Summer School in Berlin

Subjects

There are two main semesters per academic year and you will study 18 modules over the two years.
