Course overview

Good news! We've revamped this programme from Sept 2026 entry onwards to make you a more employable law professional. The changes include more content around employability and legal practice, with more time in our public-facing legal advice clinics.

Check out the course content tab for more detail. Real cases, real people, real impact At LSBU, you don’t just learn law, you do law. We’re the first Law School in the UK that guarantees you’ll work in one of our in-house clinics, where you’ll be advising real people in our community on housing, family, employment, consumer rights, and social justice issues through our Legal Advice, Human Rights, and Law & Social Policy clinics, all right here in central London.

This practical experience will help you build your confidence, your CV and your professional network before you even graduate. You’ll see the law in action, with teaching that’s built around practice as much as it is theory, leading to many of our graduates making lasting impacts in their communities, some have even gone on to argue cases in the Supreme Court or contribute to social justice campaigns. This kind of real-life experience will give you the practical skills, professional connections and self-confidence to succeed as a lawyer, barrister or solicitor, or in plenty of other professional settings.
