Introduction

The challenges the world faces need global responses. From climate change to technological innovations, legal systems are adapting to address issues that transcend domestic borders.

On our Global Legal Studies LLB you'll develop an understanding of the complexities of law in a global context.

In addition to developing a strong grounding in the UK legal system, you'll develop a foundation in comparative law techniques, and an understanding of EU law, international law and its institutions.

On our four-year course you'll gain a strong legal foundation with a global perspective. Choose from a wide range of global facing optional modules, allowing you to pursue your interests in specialist legal areas such as:

  • Global intellectual property law
  • Environmental law, and
  • International human rights law

With a focus on law in a global context, you’ll:

  • Gain an understanding of the nature of law and its multi-disciplinary development.
  • Develop expertise in analysis, legal research and legal argumentation.
  • Study key topics across EU and international law, and draw on experiences in other jurisdictions through comparative law perspectives.
  • Gain disciplinary insights into different legal systems and legal cultures from around the world.
  • Interact with leading experts across the fields of global public and private law and delve into specialist subjects on how law responds to contemporary challenges.

You'll spend year three at one of our prestigious international partner universities. This means you’ll graduate with an LLB and can draw on the experiences and skills developed during your international exchange year, strengthening your prospects with graduate recruiters.
