Law LLB at University of Sheffield

This course introduces you to all the subjects you need to develop a critical understanding of modern English law. You'll learn how the law works in our society and how it changes and develops.

There are a huge amount of optional modules available for you to select from. Whether you choose commercial based subjects, or international law, human rights, or criminal law and evidence, you can build your LLB to suit your strengths and career aspirations.

All of our courses prepare you for the challenges of professional life. Learning to identify and address
the complex legal, moral, ethical or social questions that underpin the law is key to your success here.
Your teachers will be researching the very latest aspects of law and criminology and amongst them
are practising legal professionals. Their discoveries become yours, as their research filters into teaching.

Top law firms regularly visit us to meet our students and take a hands-on approach by contributing
to your wider education. They also interview our high-achieving students for jobs.

We have over 200 places for voluntary work experience, which gives you the chance to do real client work that has a positive impact in the community. You can get involved in our free legal clinic and the Miscarriages of Justice Review Centre, an opportunity to work on cases of wrongful imprisonment. You can work on our commercial pro bono project, on our criminal justice initiative or at the courts, providing help and support to individual litigants. You can also work with several local charities as a trained adviser, helping individuals with their legal problems

Our degrees have a strong international focus to prepare you for a career that could take you
anywhere. Our study abroad scheme is one of the largest of its kind in the UK and includes destinations in Europe, Australia, China, the US and Canada.
