The LLB in Legal Practice is a law degree with a difference. It enables you to combine essential legal knowledge with practical legal skills while gaining a valuable law degree.

Developed jointly by MMU School of Law and ILEX Tutorial College, the degree is taught via supported distance learning, so you can study from anywhere in the UK. The legal practice electives fulfil all the academic study required to become a legal executive lawyer, which is what makes this programme so distinctive.

In common with other law degrees, the LL.B in Legal Practice will also prepare you for further training if you want to become a solicitor or barrister. On graduating you will be able to apply legal theory to practical law with confidence, making you more employable than graduates who have studied a traditional law degree.

The annual fee for the course commencing in September 2012 is £3000. Subsequent years may be subject to a small increase.
