LLB Law Graduate Entry

University of Sussex

Course overview

The LLB Law (Graduate Entry) is a 2-year course that graduates of any discipline can take to fast-track their studies and gain an LLB in two years. They will gain a solid grounding in the English legal system and explore international, European, and Canadian law as part of the course.

Students will cover theoretical and practical aspects of law, and benefit from being taught by research-active faculty and joining a vibrant community with an active student law body, getting involved in the local community through the Sussex Law Clinics, and gaining valuable work experience of the law in action before they graduate.

The University links with leading law firms that sponsor their student competitions in national and international mooting, criminal advocacy, client interviewing, negotiation, mediation and legal debating. Studying law develops students’ skills of analysis, argument and persuasion, equipping them for a variety of careers. And the University's supportive group of alumni is happy to provide career advice for current students.
