About Law (Senior Status), LLB (Hons) - at Swansea University

If you want to study law and already hold a degree in a different discipline from outside the UK, then this two-year Senior Status LLB is for you.

You will learn how the legal and criminal justice systems work in England and Wales and gain a comprehensive grounding in the core areas covered by a law degree.

Alongside the core compulsory modules, you can study optional modules from a wide range of subject areas, including family law, employment law, cybercrime, competition law, and medical law.

Throughout your senior status degree, you will develop excellent research and analytical skills and learn to present your ideas effectively both verbally and in writing.

All of our undergraduate Law programmes contain the foundations of legal knowledge needed to enter the legal profession. Our programmes provide a strong foundation for students who may wish to take the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE) in the future, and satisfy the academic stage of training required by the Bar Standards Board for those wishing to become barristers.
