This law degree is accredited by the Honorable Society of Kings Inns. Students receive an excellent grounding in core law subjects, while also retaining the flexibility to customise their own academic path.
Law is taken jointly with one Arts subject for the final two years of the programme. Students can choose from a wide range of Arts subjects including languages and other areas within the humanities and social sciences.
The BCL is a three-year degree in law combined with one other subject. While the BCL covers all the core modules of law, you cover less law than on the LLB (MH501), giving you more time to develop expertise in another subject. The main advantage is that it allows you to combine the study of law with the study of another discipline.
BCL students who successfully complete the first year of the programme have the option of transferring into the second year of the LLB programme (MH501).
Students may apply to complete a work placement year in a law firm (subject to availability) or a year studying abroad at one of our international partner institutions (subject to availability).
