About this course

Law governs the relationships between individuals, organisations, and states, establishing the rules by which disputes are resolved, rights are protected, and power is constrained. A law degree trains you to read and interpret complex texts precisely, to construct and evaluate arguments rigorously, and to apply general principles to specific facts, skills that have value far beyond the legal profession itself. This two-year full-time LLB at the University of Buckingham is an accelerated programme delivered through four full teaching terms per calendar year, allowing you to complete a qualifying law degree in two years rather than the conventional three.

The programme combines law with business management, giving you a grounding in legal principle alongside an understanding of how organisations operate commercially and strategically. You will cover the core areas of English law, including contract, tort, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, and equity and trusts, while business management modules add the commercial context that makes your legal training particularly applicable to practice in corporate and commercial settings. Buckingham's concentrated mode of delivery requires focused commitment, but it also means you enter the profession or continue to further study a year earlier than graduates of conventional programmes.

A typical entry tariff of 120 UCAS points reflects a broadly accessible admissions threshold. The LLB satisfies the necessary academic stage of training for qualification as a lawyer in England and Wales, as well as in various common law jurisdictions internationally. Graduates go on to solicitor or barrister training, legal practice in commercial, criminal, and public law settings, and a wide range of non-legal careers in business, public administration, compliance, policy, and journalism that value the analytical and communicative skills a law degree develops.
