This LLB Bachelor of Laws degree gives you a unique opportunity to explore the law from a social science perspective – looking at its impact on society, politics, economics and business.

As one of the UKs leading legal research institutions, our academics are actively contributing to the development of law globally. So, youll be learning from world-leading researchers.

This law degree covers all the skills and knowledge needed to progress to the first stage of the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE). But equally, youll gain highly transferable skills for a career in accounting, banking, politics, government or education.

Youll be studying close to Londons historic legal district and many eminent law firms – with regular events organised by our Law Society and the Inns of Court. In fact, youll never get bored with a packed programme of extra-curricular activities, including mooting competitions, social events and presentations from practising lawyers.

Alongside the LLB degree, we also offer a double degree LLB/JD (juris doctor) programme with Columbia University Law School. You can apply for this programme during your second year. However, we wouldnt recommend applying to LSE solely for entry to the double degree programme as we cant guarantee you a place.

Graduate destinations:

Recent leavers have secured training contracts at world renowned law firms, whilst others have been taken on as analysts and consultants. Others still have used the legal and social insights gained in their degree to set up their own NGOs or start their own businesses.

The analytical, critical and communication skills and legal and social insights gained within the LLB provide an excellent foundation for many careers and can be applied to a wide range of industries. Recent graduates have gone into fields as diverse as law and legal services, accountancy, banking and finance, government and politics, consulting, tax, charity and development, and education and academia.
