Leading to: Law LLB (Hons)

Our LLB Law degree gives you the foundation to build a critical understanding of modern English law. You'll also gain a practical feel for how the law works and evolves within society, and develop a skill set that equips you for a future career in law or in a wide range of managerial professions.

Develop an understanding of modern English law, how it works in our society, how it develops over time, and how the practice of law can change people’s lives - all while building critical skills that open doors for a wide range of legal and wider professional careers. 

Whether you plan to become a barrister, solicitor, or take your expertise beyond traditional legal roles, you’ll start by mastering the foundations of legal knowledge in your first two years and then tailor your degree to your interests and career goals in year three.

With law at Sheffield, you have the option to study your third year abroad in one of our 30+ partner universities for an insight into another legal system. You don’t need to decide now, and wherever you decide to study abroad, you’ll be taught in English.

You can also gain real-world experience alongside your studies, with our pro bono schemes or an optional placement year in industry. Do real client work, advise start-ups and small businesses, and make a positive difference to the people of Sheffield.

Whatever way you customise your course, you’ll graduate with one of the UK’s most highly ranked law degrees and the skills to succeed in a highly competitive job market.
