LLB (Hons) Law with Foundation Year

About your course The professionally accredited LLB (Hons) Law is uniquely placed, giving students the opportunity to observe law in action from Semester 2 of their very first year, through our award-winning Legal Advice Centre. Foundation Year (Level 3) The LLB Law Foundation Year is ideal if you have the interest and ability to study for a Law degree, but do not have the qualifications to enter directly onto the LLB Law degree programme. The LLB Law Foundation Year (level 3) includes a unique module, Investigating Liverpool, that addresses key contemporary issues facing Liverpool, such as Scouse identity, Hillsborough, slavery, migration, riots, culture, education, policing, and media portrayals of the city. You will be given a basic introduction to English Law and have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the starting points of civil and criminal liability. Once you pass the Foundation Year (level 3) you will progress directly onto the first year (level 4) of the LLB honours degree. If you are a full-time UK student, you will qualify for student financial support for the full duration of your course (subject to eligibility criteria). Level 4 Study Onwards This course is truly innovative in that you can observe real law in action from Semester 2 of your first year. You will gain invaluable insight into the pro-bono work that we are proud to undertake, helping to support access to justice in our city via our award-winning Legal Advice Centre. The Legal Advice Centre is something you can be part of all the way through to your final year of study. Since 2014, LJMU's Legal Advice Centre has helped over 500 clients and given £0.6 million worth of free advice to the local community. * There are 24 places available for students who select the level 6 Year-Long Advanced Clinical Legal Education module to spend the year working with Support Through Court at Liverpool Civil & Family Justice Centre. You work one full day a week on site helping the service. Every year, thousands of people in England and Wales face court alone. Often through no choice of their own, they must represent themselves at a moment that could determine the rest of their life. They may face eviction from their home or lose contact with their children. In an unfamiliar courtroom, up against a party with legal representation, the process can be stressful and confusing. Support Through Court Liverpool stands with those who have nowhere else to turn, offering support and guidance before, during, and after court. They make sure people facing court are not alone and help them navigate a complex legal system with dignity and self-assurance, so that they can best represent themselves. Student support and availability directly contributed to Support Through Court Liverpool returning to full time operating hours which had previously been reduced due to the impacts of the pandemic. In the academic year 2022-23 LJMU students assisted clients on 1,376 occasions and supported 178 hearing
