Law Foundation Year

The LLB with Foundation year is an integrated foundation course. If you aspire to a career in law, the foundation year is designed to provide a strong grounding in both subject knowledge and skills. If you pass the foundation year, you automatically progress to the Northumbria LLB undergraduate honours degree. In the Foundation Year you study five semester long modules and one-year long module where you will develop your knowledge of the theory and practice of law. You will also have an opportunity to learn effective academic writing, analysis skills, interpersonal communication, and the ability to work in teams. The main attribute you need to bring is curiosity. Our modules encourage you to look at contemporary legal issues and events, exploring how the law works. During your modules, you will consider ethical issues and learn analytical skills while being encouraged to build your creative, critical, and independent thinking.

You will benefit from extensive careers support throughout your course to help you plan your career and promote your professional development. You will have an opportunity to attend lectures by a variety of legal professionals and take part in competitions to win legal work experience. You are encouraged to participate in voluntary activities such as mooting, mentoring, judicial shadowing, and the Law School has several student-led societies including the Grey Society, the Mock Trail Society, Legal History and more, for which you can also get involved. When you pass the Foundation year, you automatically progress to first year of the LLB (Hons) programme. On completion of the LLB (Hons) you will graduate with the attributes needed to succeed in the legal services sector with a range of academic and professional transferable skills, such as research, public speaking, critical thinking, teamwork and commercial awareness, qualities highly regarded by both legal and non-legal employers. Our range of optional modules on the LLB (Hons) allow you to develop areas of specialism tailored to your career aspirations.
