Syllabus content
The first year of this course is your foundation year, which is designed to prepare you for success at the university level. You’ll be fully supported in everything from academic content like math or writing to digital skills required for your studies and workplace.
Arden’s LLB course has been newly updated to reflect recent changes to professional practice qualifications. You now have the opportunity to select specific degree pathways, such as preparing for a career as a solicitor by opting for course modules that cover the knowledge required for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE 1). Alternatively, you may want to take a pathway that prepares you for a Bar Training Course if you wish to qualify as a barrister in the future. You’ll also have the option to study elective modules covering EU and International law–particularly useful if you live outside the UK in a country that practices common law.
