The Law (LLB) degree at Bangor University is more than a pathway to becoming a solicitor or barrister; it’s an opportunity to explore the contemporary legal issues that shape our society.

Our modern curriculum reflects the dynamic nature of law, providing you with a thorough understanding of essential legal principles and preparing you for diverse and rewarding careers both within and beyond the legal profession.  

You'll build a strong foundation in core legal areas while understanding how law operates within a constantly evolving social, economic, and political landscape. This course not only meets the academic requirements for qualification as a barrister (Bar Standards Board compliant) but also provides essential knowledge for aspiring solicitors. Our unique curriculum also highlights distinct aspects of Welsh law that diverge from English law, preparing you for roles in organisations operating across jurisdictions, whether in Wales, England or beyond.

As you progress, you’ll enjoy the flexibility to tailor your degree to your interests and aspirations through an exciting array of specialised modules taught by renowned experts in fields like international law and human rights, family law, social justice, and emerging technologies. You can also choose to explore more vocational subjects tested in the Solicitors’ Qualifying Examinations (SQE) - such as Business Law, Wills and Estates, and Property Practice - providing you with a gateway to professional training to become a solicitor.
