Law

Law shapes every aspect of life in a modern society, governing how people relate to each other, how businesses operate, how the state exercises power, and how disputes are resolved. For graduates who have completed a degree in another discipline and want to build a career in law, the graduate entry LLB offers a direct and efficient route: a two-year, full-time qualifying law degree that draws on the intellectual maturity and subject expertise you already possess.

At Brunel University London this programme is designed for graduates with a degree in an academic discipline other than law who hold at least a 2:2. The condensed two-year structure covers all the core legal subjects required for a qualifying law degree, including contract law, tort, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, equity and trusts, and the law of the European Union. The accelerated pace demands discipline and commitment, but Brunel's programme is structured to give you the academic support and professional orientation needed to succeed.

Throughout the degree you will develop the skills of legal reasoning, statutory and case law interpretation, and sustained written argument that characterise legal education.

The graduate entry LLB is a well-established route into the legal profession for career changers and those whose initial degree opened a different path. Graduates go on to complete the Solicitors Qualifying Examination and train as solicitors, or pursue the Bar Course and qualify as barristers. Many find that their prior degree adds distinctive value in practice areas connected to their background, whether in life sciences, technology, finance, arts, or the public sector.

Others move into paralegal roles, legal technology, compliance, policy, or academic legal research. The two-year degree makes the qualification faster and more cost-effective than a standard undergraduate programme, and it remains open to graduates from a wide range of disciplines.
