What you will study

Our four-year course—co-taught by The ​Dickson Poon School of Law, the ​Department of Philosophy and the ​Department of Political Economy—is designed to educate the ‘complete lawyer’. Over and above the legal expertise gained in a traditional, three-year LLB, the LLB in Politics, Philosophy & Law aims to provide broader insight into the philosophical underpinnings of law and policy, as well as the social and political context in which law is made and practiced. After your first year you have the choice of applying to study abroad at one of our partner universities.
