Birkbeck’s Foundation Year programmes provide the best possible preparation for degree-level study at Birkbeck. They are ideal for students who do not meet the entry requirements for the undergraduate degree they would like to study, if they feel they are not quite ready for an undergraduate degree, or if they are returning to study and need extra help and support. Upon successful completion of the one-year Foundation Year, in which students will develop their core knowledge and skills in law, students will automatically progress on to the three-year, full-time, evening study LLB Law. Birkbeck’s Law LLB teaches students the foundational areas of law required by the legal profession and provides them with the key skills and knowledge to move towards successfully qualifying as a lawyer. Students will gain highly transferable legal skills that are also valuable in other professions beyond a legal career. Students will develop a sound knowledge and understanding of law across a range of foundational and specialist subjects. Students will also learn to identify the political, economic, commercial, social and cultural factors that inform how we understand the law and the problems, tensions and contradictions within certain legal theories and doctrines. Upon graduating, students will be ready to prepare for the Solicitors’ Qualifying Exam (SQE), apply for a place on the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) or pursue a range of other careers. Students may specialise in their studies by choosing to follow one of three pathways and graduate with an LLB (Hons) in Law and Legal Practice, LLB (Hons) in Law and Human Rights, or LLB (Hons) in Law and Commercial Law. Graduates can pursue careers in the legal profession, human resources or local government. This degree can also be useful in becoming a barrister, solicitor, chartered legal executive or human resources officer.
