Our new LLB English Law – designed and taught by experts with long experience in UK legal academia – is taught entirely in English and follows a regular English Law LLB curriculum. Like all English Law degrees, the programme includes the seven main subjects of the foundations of legal knowledge, namely Contract Law, Tort Law, Criminal Law, Equity and Trusts, Land Law, EU Law and Public Law. The programme aims to enable you to develop a critical awareness of the common law legal tradition and to apply problem-solving skills to a range of legal and non-legal settings. During your studies you will establish the building blocks of legal knowledge whilst, in parallel, you will cultivate important skills such as research, resourcefulness, writing, constructing a reasoned argument and independence. The objective of our LLB English Law is not, simply, to require you to memorise the law but to teach you to engage with the law skilfully. Therefore, you will learn transferable skills which can be applied in any country and in any career route you decide to follow.
The programme is designed to help you stand out with employers, whatever your career goals. It offers you flexibility in what you study as it combines a number of compulsory and elective subjects which enable you to tailor your degree to your interests and career ambitions. Our degree gives you the opportunity not only to study English Law subjects but additionally to study the international context of law. Our elective courses include traditional legal subjects (such as International Environmental Law, Family Law, Employment Law and International Protection of Human Rights) as well as non-legal subjects and languages. During your time at Neapolis, you will also have many opportunities to build your skills, confidence and professional CV through a range of extra-curricular activities.
Career Prospects
Our LLB English Law graduates will be able to find employment in a diverse range of roles, both inside and outside the legal profession: they will be able to work as in-house lawyers for companies, barristers, solicitors, paralegals, legal executives, teachers, legal academics, civil servants, business directors, managers, politicians, journalists and media professionals and in international organisations.
With our LLB English Law you will be able to qualify as a lawyer and ultimately go into legal practice in any country which has a common law system. In order to do so, though, as is the case with every Law degree, you will need to also complete the vocational training process of the relevant country.
