Whichever direction you want to go in career-wise, a law degree is a great first step.
Our LLB Law (Standard Entry) is for anyone who wants to study law but doesn’t have a degree. You could be a school leaver, wanting to progress in your career, or looking to change direction entirely. The flexibility of the course makes it perfect for fitting around work or family commitments.
After Year One, you can shape your studies in the direction that most interests you. You might want to focus on commercial or international law. Or take modules that form the foundation for a career as a practising solicitor or barrister. (Please note: the availability of pathways may vary from year to year.)
Our Bachelor of Laws Degree is awarded by the University of London. So you’ll go away with a legal qualification with strong international currency from a world-renowned university, opening the door to careers in law and many other fields.
Our class sizes – which we keep deliberately small – mean you get a lot more time to talk to your tutors than at other universities. You’ll have the chance to delve deeper into your subjects, and access all the support you need to gain full value from your studies.
Real-world work experience is another well-known advantage for aspiring lawyers and those interested in related careers – which is why all our students are introduced to prestigious Jersey lawyers while studying with us. With our support, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in our mentoring scheme, and be introduced to work experience opportunities with leading offshore law firms that can be difficult to secure elsewhere.
On top of this, you’ll be based right here in Jersey, so you won’t have to travel far from home to get the flexible, high quality degree you want for your career.
