LLB (Hons) Law

Three international students study LLB Law

If you’re looking to pursue a legal career, look no further. Established in 1852, the City Law School has an eminent history of educating Law students. City was the first institution in London to educate students at all stages of legal education and continues, to this day, to provide a quality foundation in Law.

You’ll be taught through a mix of traditional lectures, seminars and tutorials. But we’ll also develop your verbal skills through the art of debating and “mooting” – a key part of being a Law student at City.

Whether you want to be a barrister or a lawyer, this degree will enhance your transferable skills and develop the essential skills and knowledge necessary for a career in Law.

What will I study?

All students complete modules tailored to your chosen degree subjects.

How will I be assessed?

Assessment is both formal and informal. Entry to all City, University of London honours degrees is highly competitive, so the purpose of the assessment process is to help you improve and build on your success. Marks from the International Foundation programme do not count towards a final degree, but help the University to determine whether you meet key criteria for progression.

You will receive support from your tutor throughout your course and be assessed by a combination of:

  • exams at the end of each term
  • coursework which may include: written assignments, reports, practical exercises, group and individual research projects, presentations and problem-solving exercises

Studying at INTO City was a great preparation for university life, as the teaching style and assessments were very similar to what I later experienced at City University. INTO City is a school of life, which will not only give you necessary knowledge and skills to get higher education, but also teach you how to be independent and motivated.
