About Bachelor of Laws with Honours (graduate entry)

If youre already a graduate, with a first degree or masters degree in any subject from a UK university or recognised overseas university, you can enter our LLB directly at Stage 2. This graduate entry route - 240 credits of compulsory study - leads to a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) (LLB) degree that is recognised by the law profession as a Senior Status Law Degree. Studying law is stimulating in its own right, and its also a smart career move. If you want to practise law professionally, a law degree is a first and necessary step - but its also a great asset for many other careers that are not directly related to law. The Open Universitys LLB is the most popular undergraduate taught law degree programme in the UK. We offer it in collaboration with The College of Law - the UKs largest provider of professional legal education. The compulsory modules of this degree course cover the seven 'Foundations of Legal Knowledge - the academic subjects required for a Qualifying Law Degree (QLD). These are set by The Solicitors Regulation Authority and The Bar Standards Board (the professional legal bodies). By the end of your studies, youll have the legal awareness needed to understand and apply the law, together with skills of legal analysis and methods.
