The Degree contains all foundational areas of English law as formerly recognised by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority and Bar Standards Board in England and Wales. As a University that has offered legal education for over 40 years, BCU is proud of its international reputation for clinical legal education.

    The LLB is rigorous and actively encourages you to think about the impact of Law and the role it plays today.
