Undergraduate degree courses

We offer the following undergraduate degree programmes:

Law LLB

This programme is designed to provide a thorough foundation in English law. Our core modules cover English law, through the study of tort, trusts, contract law, public law, criminal law, EU law, and land law.

Study abroad options

We also offer study abroad options. Students on the LLB Law degree course can apply to transfer to our four-year law degree programme.

The courses available are:

Qualifying for professional practice

All our undergraduate law degrees allow exemption from the academic stage of qualification as a Barrister.

Graduates wishing to qualify as barristers may proceed directly to the vocational stage of legal training - the Bar Training Course.

Students who wish to become a solicitor must, after graduation, undertake the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE).

Overseas practice

Law graduates from the University of Nottingham may be eligible to practise overseas including in Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Singapore, where admission to the Bar (or equivalent) can be attained subject to meeting the jurisdictions' conditions.

Dr Edward Goodwin talks about the law degree at Nottingham. He covers why law is important, our good industry connections and the benefits of choosing a school with an excellent research reputation.

The cases we study in tort and contract all pertain to real life situations and allow you to better understand the intricacies of legal principles. The professors are also charismatic and manage to capture our interest even when explaining difficult concepts.
