Our Law with Politics and International Relations (LLB) programme has been designed to develop your knowledge and understanding of how legal systems are located within a changing political and international relations context and how the law is shaped by this often-volatile environment. Law is a subject that can be applied to virtually every aspect of our lives from the receipt in your pocket to how you’re treated in the workplace, and so much in between. It’s also never been more topical. Whether that’s local, national, or international concerns. Think political protests and human rights. Or sustainable agriculture, trade and transport. Or regulating AI and social media. Think money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Or the ethics of end-of-life choices. And what about fractured families, access to housing, or dealing with debt. These issues are also political ones, and studying law with politics and international relations provides further insight into this aspect, through examination of the politics and government of individual states, interrogation of important political ideas such as freedom, democracy and justice, and through close investigation of the relations between states and non-state actors on the world stage.Our programme will teach you to find, interpret and apply the law of England and Wales, while at the same time exploring the broader concepts that underpin our legal system. You’ll explore how parliaments, governments and international organisations function, and evaluate ideas such as justice, power, freedom, democracy, human rights, conflict, legitimacy or accountability. Modules are varied, giving you insights into law and politics in Wales, the UK, Europe, and across the globe.In addition to the academic skills and knowledge you’ll acquire, you can benefit from our range of opportunities for professional development and putting your skills into practice. Our pro bono schemes work in partnership with lawyers, charities, and voluntary organisations, helping members of the community with legal matters, completely free of charge. Through these schemes, and working on real cases, you’ll develop skills in client care, legal research, writing and public speaking, and communication in all forms.Studying Law with Politics and International Relations also allows you the distinctive opportunity to benefit from the department’s extensive links to the Senedd Cymru/Welsh Parliament.We also offer other placement and work experience opportunities, like paralegal placements with a range of solicitors.With a view on your progression in law, our programme offers the core subjects required by the Bar Standards Board for future barristers and which are also foundational for practice as a solicitor. **Distinctive Features of the Programme** **Expert and respected** We’re recognised for our expertise in the field of socio-legal studies.**Award-winning**Our Pro Bono Unit has won a range of awards and provides essential work experience.**Life-changing** Our staff and student-led Innocence Project is the only UK project to have had 2 convictions overturned at the Court of Appeal.**Links to political institutions**Benefit from links to Westminster parliament, Senedd Cymru, the European Union and NATO.**Skills for the future**A structured skills programme, including law clinic and placement experience, embeds academic, transferable and employability skills into learning from the very beginning.
