Law

Recognised globally as one of the UK's premier law schools. Teaching by internationally-renowned academics and visiting lecturers, and practitioners from global law firms. Located in historic Somerset House, with the Royal Courts of Justice, Law Society and Inns of Court all on your doorstep. Excellent legal research resources at King’s College London’s impressive Maughan Library. A thriving Professional Skills portfolio including professional skills modules, a legal clinic, and mooting programme. A dedicated careers team who provide tailored guidance on how to access the legal profession. Active student-run societies organising social and career-oriented functions as well as mooting competitions. Our LLB Law course focuses on the study of law as an intellectual discipline. It can form the first major step towards qualifying for practice as a solicitor or barrister, but also represents appropriate preliminary training for a range of other careers in which legal knowledge is an asset. The degree is suitable for students who have a general interest in law but want to find out more about it before deciding on a particular vocation. We have a strong tradition of excellence in teaching, with consistently high student satisfaction ratings for Law in the National Student Survey, and are committed to maintaining that tradition. All compulsory modules are taught through lectures and regular small group teaching. These tutorials or seminars will give you the opportunity to apply the general legal principles you have learnt to specific problems, and allow you to engage with our academics and explore issues further in depth. At King’s, all students on a taught programme are allocated a personal tutor who will play a key role in helping you to get the most out of your studies, providing support and encouragement for your time at university.
