For those seeking to work in law or criminal justice, a Bachelor of Law (LLB) is a stepping stone in that direction. An LLB can help students become attorneys or work in law enforcement.

What is an LLB in Legal Practice? Programs include coursework like criminal law, foundations of criminal justice, research methods, and crime and society. Courses on ethics and legal systems are also taught. Students tailor their coursework to suit their career, like insurance law, international law or further specialties. Traveling abroad for in-depth training for international law interests is also a possibility. Course tracks go between heading towards taking the bar exam and non-lawyer paths. Programs range from two to three years in length.

Many job opportunities utilize the research skills gained in these programs, whether for supporting lawyers or government agencies, or for general consumer knowledge before big-ticket purchases. Students also gain analytical and critical-thinking skills while embarking upon the coursework in pursuit of their degree.

Depending on the length of the program chosen, the cost for completing coursework will vary. Other factors to consider in your financial research are lodging, location and duration.

The value of learning the law of the land opens the door to a variety of careers. Many graduates with an LLB in Legal Practice go on to work as attorneys. In the UK, individuals take this program to work as barristers or solicitors. For those not interesting in taking a bar exam, working as a paralegal or legal assistant are viable career options. Graduates have also departed from the legal field, choosing careers in human resources, accounting, compliance, law enforcement, real estate, library science, government relations and mediation.
