Associated careers

Traditionally a means of entering the legal profession, a law degree is increasingly used as a route into a number of fields, including accountancy, banking and finance, business and commerce, local and central government, the police and prison services, and teaching. This degree is of particular value if you are seeking a career in international business and commerce.
Assessment

Methods of assessment include examinations, essays, problem-solving exercises, case-studies, presentations, mooting, online discussions, group work and final-year major project (dissertation).
Professional recognition

This is a Qualifying Law Degree and will therefore enable you to proceed to the vocational stage of training (the Bar Vocational Course for barristers or Legal Practice Course for solicitors), subject to satisfying any additional requirements imposed by the Joint Academic Stage Board (which represents the legal profession in England and Wales).
Special features

In your final year, with the guidance of a supervisor, you will research an area of law and write a major project relating to your chosen area. This will provide you with the opportunity to develop your chosen specialism, and to further develop your research skills and powers of analysis, critical evaluation and written communication.

The Law School is an active participant in national and international competitions and is very proud of its students’ achievements. Our students have won national competitions in Mooting, Client Interviewing (on four occasions), and the Gepps Legal Debate trophy. They have also reached the semi-finals of the Allen & Overy Legal Negotiation Competition.

Anglia Law School enjoys a very good relationship with local firms of solicitors and barristers’ chambers with a number of student prizes being sponsored by these firms. The Law School also benefits from close links with local criminal justice agencies, including the Crown Prosecution Service. Many local organisations and employers act as mentors to our students.

Undergraduate Major Project.

The LLB (Hons) International Business Law is a Qualifying Law Degree, normally allowing graduates to progress directly to the vocational stage of training for the profession of solicitor or barrister. If you are not seeking to enter the legal profession, a Law degree is widely recognised as excellent preparation for a wide range of careers. In the increasingly globalised business environment there is a growing demand for qualified people with a good understanding of the law concerning international trade and commerce. This course has been designed to help meet that demand by producing graduates who possess the skills and knowledge to match the requirements of employers.

This course combines the academic with the practical aspects of the law – the skills that you will require in a professional environment.

The law degree is being revised for September 2010. This will include an update of the curriculum, the provision of a September and January start date, and the availability of an accelerated route. We are also planning top offer an integrated LLB/LPC for students seeking to qualify as a solicitor.
