LLB Law in Practice with Politics
Course overview
The LLB Law in Practice with Politics at Swansea University will allow students to combine their law degree with an exploration of national and international politics and a year-long professional placement. This 4-year programme provides a good foundation in the key areas covered by a law degree; their third year will be spent at a paid internship in a legal setting, allowing them to experience legal practice firsthand and pick up key skills that will be useful in their future career.
Alongside this, students will study key aspects of British and international politics, public policy, political theory, philosophy, and peace and conflict. Students will learn through a blend of lectures, seminars, workshops, and practical sessions, including skills training or studio-based teaching where relevant to the degree. These sessions are designed to encourage active participation, collaboration, and the development of both subject-specific and transferable skills.
