Bachelor in LLB Hons Law with Foundation Year

At Sheffield Hallam University, tuition is 18,000 GBP per year.

Designed for students who are eager to engage with the law not just as a set of static rules, but as a dynamic tool for social justice, this programme offers a transformative pathway into the legal profession. By integrating a foundation year, the course ensures you develop the academic confidence and critical thinking skills necessary for success, even if you are coming from a non-traditional educational background or are returning to study after time away. You will thrive here if you value hands-on, experiential learning and wish to see how legal theory translates into real-world impact.

Applied Justice and Practice

The curriculum is defined by its commitment to "applied learning." You will not just sit in lecture halls; you will work on live client cases, collaborate with legal service providers, and engage in social justice initiatives. Through the Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice and various on-campus legal hubs, you will gain exposure to diverse legal environments, ranging from refugee rights advocacy to miscarriage of justice projects. This practical focus ensures that you graduate not only with a deep understanding of the English legal system but with a robust portfolio of professional skills and a clear sense of your own values and aspirations in a globalised society.
