Graduate a full year earlier — without cutting corners
The Accelerated LLB Law & Legal Practice compresses the same full degree into two intensive years, studying three days per week. You cover the same Level 4, 5, and 6 curriculum as the standard three-year route — the difference is pace, not content.
Validated by Birkbeck, University of London and accredited by CILEx Regulation, this is the only accelerated undergraduate law degree of its kind in the UK. You'll work on real client matters from Year 1, and graduate exempt from two CILEx assessments on the route to Chartered Legal Executive status.
Student Finance England funds accelerated degrees in the same way as standard degrees — you receive the same total loan amount, spread over two years instead of three. You enter the workforce a full year ahead of your peers.
"I came here to discover something that I thought was lost to me, after 32 years of working in one company. For me, the support network in Bloomsbury is second to none – I've never known something to be so extensive."
Andrea David, LLB Law and Legal Practice studentChoose your study route
All three routes lead to the same LLB (Hons) Law & Legal Practice degree, validated by Birkbeck, University of London and accredited by CILEx Regulation.
