This programme recognises the need to provide an academically challenging degree which will give you a sound knowledge of legal concepts together with an understanding of the operation of law in society.
“I was [treated as] a valued student with talent and capabilities. This was only achieved by the outstanding academic teaching and support provided by my lecturers. It has provided me with a solid foundation and now my opportunities are endless.” Saanya Khan, 1st Class Honours
Course Structure
This Honours degree consists of six semesters, taken over three years of full-time study.
Modules Covered
This Solicitors Regulation Authority/Bar Council qualifying Law degree contains the seven core law subjects.
These are:
A specialist Commercial/Business portfolio might include Contract Law, with options in Commercial Law, Company Law and a dissertation in one of those areas.
A specialist Criminal Law portfolio might include Criminal Law, with Criminology as an option and a dissertation in that area, and a Property Law portfolio might include Contract Law, Land Law and options in Landlord and Tenant Law, Conveyancing and a dissertation to support one of those areas.
A specialist Property Law portfolio might include Contract Law, Land Law, Landlord and Tenant Law, Conveyancing and a property dissertation.
With our wide range of courses and the flexibility within the pure Law degree, it is up to you to make of your study, what you want.
The programme employs a blended learning strategy where attendance in lectures, workshops and seminars is supported by a comprehensive e-learning portal, Moodle.
The resources on Moodle include links to websites, our e-databases, electronic books and tutor/ librarian produced materials. There are sections for each module of study which focus on specific module content, including a module handbook with assessment details, reading lists, workshop and seminar tasks. Each module is divided into a weekly breakdown of materials and specific resources.
The online resources may include lecture Power point lectures, hand-outs, television programmes, web links, video clips, Multiple choice quizzes and other materials.
Written assessments are submitted to Moodle and the submission goes through Turnitin (plagiarism detection software). Our primary intention is not to use Turnitin as a punitive tool but as part of the learning process. To that end, you can submit and re-submit your work to Turnitin as many times as you wish prior to the end submission date, and through this process you may identify referencing points that require rectification.
All tutors have access to Skype and this can be utilised inside and outside of the classroom. You may use this tool to have discussions with us throughout the year. Both Skype and Moodle also have messaging tools to assist communication to students, either as a group or to individuals.
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of Lectures, Workshops and Seminars.
Lectures will be interactive, with question and answer sessions and other forms of student involvement. Workshops are designed to enhance individual learning in relation to a common end task [the set seminar task(s)], which will then be explored in further detail with the tutor in the seminar. The individualised workshops may have you practicing timed essays, whilst others are involved in peer discussion and support. Alternatively, they may be based on last minute preparation, viewing resources on the e- learning portal or even test their knowledge with multiple choice questions (MCQs). In the workshop, the onus is on you to identify your own learning requirements.

The programme employs a plurality of assessment methods including assignments, examinations, dissertation, presentations, assessed moots, assessed negotiations, assessed client interview, 'soap box' debates, and portfolio submission.
This plurality of assessment ensures that you will graduate with the skills and abilities required in employment, such as the ability to work under pressure and within short time constraints (examinations), and the ability to address a large audience (presentations). The programme will develop your communication skills e.g. in writing (assignments/portfolios) and communicating verbally (moots/client conference/negotiation). This knowledge and these skills are designed to be transferable to a variety of careers, whether such is within the legal professions or another realm such as commerce, public service or education.

Non-standard applicants may be interviewed and may be required to complete a piece of written work as part of their application.
The programme actively supports claims for Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) and Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL). Students should consult the admissions tutor if they wish to claim such.
Students who have successfully completed the Foundation Degree in Law and Legal Practice are eligible to join the LLB (Hons) at level 5 (Year 2). Their course of study is two years of Foundation Degree plus two years of Degree.
We also consider individual applicants who can demonstrate relevant learning, work/voluntary experience, using our Recognition of Prior Learning process. Please contact the admission team for further information and support.
Work Placement and Legal Skills are a component of this programme; you are required to study one or the other in your second year.
The Legal Skills modules are designed to replicate legal practice with students developing a portfolio (case file) on behalf of a client. In representing a client, you will conduct client and witness conferences, perform negotiations and undertake advocacy exercises as well as draft an opinion, write various correspondences and undertake legal research.
In the Work Placement modules, you will undertake the above activities with an external placement provider and under the strict supervision of a mentor, usually a solicitor or trainee solicitor in the firm. You are encouraged to find your own placement by pursuing a traditional application process, but in the event of such being unsuccessful, the Law School does have a number of placement contacts. The majority of placements are with Law Firms but we also have placements with the Citizens Advice Bureau and are exploring opportunities with the College Student Union. The placements are available in Bradford, Dewsbury, Halifax and Manchester. This enables some students to perform their placements near their place of residence. Beacon Recruitment, part of the Bradford College family, and the College Health and Safety team assist academic colleagues in undertaking health and safety checks with placement providers.
Full-time: £8,750 per year.
