However, we don’t expect all our students to make a concrete decision about their future career when they first join us, and this law degree isn’t just for those that want to work in the legal sector. You will develop a suite of workplace attributes that are valued across a wide range of careers, helping you graduate with a highly regarded qualification that provides value for a lifetime. Our team of academics, practitioners, and research-active staff are committed to providing a thriving learning environment that supports you in taking the next steps in your career.
When studying online you’ll have the flexibility to study on a schedule that works for you. While most of our students aim to complete the course within 3 to 6 years, you’ll have the option to extend the time in takes to complete the course if you need to.
Studying full-time, through our blended learning option, means you have 3 years to complete the course.
Arden’s LLB (Hons) Law course is the perfect course if you aspire to become a lawyer or barrister. An LLB qualification, also known as a Bachelor of Laws, is equivalent to a BA or BSc undergraduate degree and is the first step to an exciting choice of career possibilities in the legal sector or professions such as journalism, politics, policing, teaching, and much more.
With this professionally focused law degree, you’ll learn practical skills for your future employability. At the start of level 6, you will have the opportunity to select a degree pathway that aligns with your career goals, whether that’s the SQE, Bar or International Bar. You will have workshops detailing the pathways and our team's guidance and support to help you make the right choice.
