Thinking of Studying Law?

Deciding what to study at University is an important decision, which is why Law at Keele has something for everyone. We offer a range of flexible pathways, from single honours LLB courses that provide a qualifying law degree, to dual honours programmes where you can learn law alongside a wide range of possible subjects.

If you'd like to become a solicitor or barrister, one of our single honours LLB programmes would most suit your needs. We offer three such programmes:

 

Single Honours Law: Gives you the choice of two modules from outside law in your first year, and then a range of optional law modules in your second and third years. For more information click here [Learn More]

Single Honours Law with Politics: This is a qualifying law degree pathway in which you study one politics module in each semester of each year. [Learn More]

Single Honours Law with Criminology: This is a qualifying law degree pathway in which you study one criminology module in each semester of each year. [Learn More]

 

These qualifying law degrees give students the exemptions they need to go on to the vocational stage of legal education, and the criminology/politics pathways also offer a grounding in a related discipline.

Students who are interested in law but do not wish to enter the legal professions will find our exciting range of dual honours degrees offer great choice and flexibility to fit with a variety of future career choices.

 

Dual Honours Law +: Dual honours students can combine legal study with one of over 30 possible other subjects. [Learn More]

 

If you decide to study dual honours law, you can also apply to change to one of our qualifying law degree pathways at the end of your first year, as long as you study two required law modules in each semester of your first year.
