LLB Law with foundation year

University of Surrey

Course overview

The LLB Law with Foundation Year from the University of Surrey will allow students to learn key areas of legal knowledge, including law as it regulates the functions of the state (public law and criminal law), relations between private individuals, and the ownership and control of land and other property. After the first year, students will have the option to study a range of topics with experts in their fields, including environmental law, international humanitarian law, medical law, and tax law, among others.

The Foundation Year is designed for students who do not meet the entry requirements. They may still be able to apply for this degree with a Social Sciences Foundation Year, which provides an extra year of study to develop their skills and prepares them for university learning.  Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, students will be ready to progress to the first year of their degree. The qualifying law degree is recognised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for the purposes of satisfying the academic stage of training.
