The Buckingham Part-time law degree (LLB)

  Home   >>   Law   >>   Part-time LLB

Part-time LLB This programme is designed to offer a unique method of study. It combines the convenience of distance learning with the advantage of regular attendance at seminars where you will receive guidance and support from enthusiastic staff who are experienced in helping students to develop the analytical and research skills necessary for an understanding of the law. Three subjects are studied each year and you will complete your degree in four years.

We welcome students from a wide variety of backgrounds, from those who are looking for a change of career to those who are returning to education after a long absence. Our experience shows that all students bring their own valuable contribution to the programme and all can be equally successful in gaining an LLB provided they demonstrate sufficient commitment and motivation.

Applications are welcomed from mature students of all ages. There are no formal entry requirements for mature students on this programme. However, all candidates are interviewed and motivation and work experience are taken into consideration. Younger students will be expected to have gained the equivalent of three grade Cs at A-level.

The programme is fully recognised as a qualifying law degree by the Law Society and Bar Council. As such, it enables our graduates to proceed to take the professional examinations that lead to qualification as a solicitor or a barrister.
