Course Overview
Arden's LLB (Hons) Law course is the perfect course if you aspire to become a lawyer or barrister. An LLB qualification, also known as a Bachelor of Laws, is equivalent to a BA or BSc undergraduate degree and is the first step to an exciting choice of career possibilities in the legal sector or professions such as journalism, politics, policing, teaching, and much more.
Arden's LLB course, available at the British AUC University Study Centre covers the foundations of legal knowledge and has been updated to reflect recent changes to professional practice qualifications. You now have the opportunity to select from distinct degree pathways to help you prepare either for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE 1) or the Bar, including an International Bar pathway for those students looking to study modules that are more international in scope.
However, we don't expect all our students to make a concrete decision about their future career when they first join us, and this law degree isn't just for those that want to work in the legal sector. You will develop a suite of workplace attributes that are valued across a wide range of careers, helping you graduate with a highly regarded qualification that provides value for a lifetime.
