LLB Law Philosophy, Politics and Law Pathway
Course overview
The LLB Law (Philosophy, Politics and Law Pathway) from the University of Surrey enables students to understand the operation and design of the legal system, as well as the principles of legal change and reform. They will take optional modules on the philosophical, social, and political aspects of law, focusing on legal problems and developing their understanding of the relationship between law and society, and the values and political structures on which legal systems are based.
Students will learn how to evaluate the law, analyse its application to given situations, and apply their legal understanding in a national or international context. The University provides a series of employability training seminars, digital lawyering, pro bono opportunities, and extracurricular activities focusing on client interviewing, negotiation, and mooting.
The University's Court of the Future is the perfect venue for students to run practical workshops that demonstrate legal practice and provide first-hand experience of advocacy in a court setting. It allows them to have mock trials and moot courts in a real adversarial setting.
