CoL will launch new LLB across its regional centres
updated on 15 June 2012
The College of Law's (CoL's) new two-year LLB, which focuses on boosting students' employment prospects and professional skills, will launch this autumn at the CoL's Birmingham, Chester, Guildford and London Bloomsbury centres. The CoL will also provide the new course at its York and Bristol centres from September 2013.
The LLB will focus on practice-based learning to prepare students for modern legal practice, in line with recent proposals set out in the legal education and training review, and is the first of its kind. The CoL is running open days for those who wish to find out more; information about the open days and the course is available here.
Imogen Burton, the CoL's director of business development, added: "The College's LLB has at its heart the teaching of professional skills that are essential for the legal services sector. Our students will learn the law in a professional and realistic context, looking at how the law actually affects people and businesses and how lawyers use law in the real world. Its introduction at the York and Bristol centres will encourage the next generation of talented lawyers to stay in their local areas, thereby benefiting the economy and legal sector in those regions in the future."
