Course summary


LLB (Hons) Law

The Derby LLB has excellence in legal practice at its core. You’ll discover real-world law in action, taking your first steps towards qualifying as a solicitor or barrister – or keeping your career options open for the countless professions where legal knowledge is invaluable.


Why choose this course?

As a ‘qualifying law degree’ – meeting the criteria of the Bar Standards Board and Solicitors Regulation Authority – the Derby LLB puts you on the path to a career as a solicitor or barrister. We equip you with all the key lawyering skills - including drafting, advocacy, interviewing and negotiation. You can choose to take a generic LLB or pursue one of our specialist LLB pathways in Company and Commercial Law, International and Comparative Law, International Business Law or Social and Public Policy.


Is this course for you?

We deliver a comprehensive all-round undergraduate legal education, so you’ll gain all the skills and hands-on experience you need to have an immediate impact in a legal career. You'll develop an understanding of every aspect of legal services and engage with all the core professional skills, bringing what you read in the textbooks to life through genuine practical experience.


How you will learn

You will gain substantial practical experience of drafting, advocacy, interviewing, negotiation and problem-based research. We offer impressive study facilities, including a replica crown court, and replica custody complete with interview rooms and cell.


Opportunities and experiences

Derby Law School has an ethos of ‘learning by doing’ to build your employability skills and ensure you’re work-ready on graduation. We offer different variations of real-world learning to take legal education out of the classroom and into reality – from mooting competitions and mock trials to drafting contracts and bail applications.Our professional partnerships open doors for you to benefit from placements and internships, judicial shadowing and mentoring by established legal professionals. Through our Student Legal Advice Centre, you can also gain rewarding practical experience by supporting the wider community and helping people who might otherwise find it hard to access justice.


Careers and employability

If you want to become a solicitor or barrister, the Derby LLB prepares you for the next stage of training. Our graduates secure roles in the Crown Prosecution Service, private practice, the courts and law centres. Others use the qualification as a stepping stone to careers in banking, industry and education.
