LLB (Hons) Law with History

This pathway explores the natural interface between Law and History, allowing you to choose from a wide variety of fascinating history subjects alongside your law modules. Learn more about the Tudor or Norman periods, Welsh history or the post-War era, to better appreciate how these historical periods have had an influence on the development of legal principles we still use today. This is a great combination of subjects that is sure to broaden the appeal of your degree.
The course is designed to foster your intellectual independence. Youll be supported to develop the confidence and skills needed to think critically, to ask and answer cogent questions about law and its role in society, and to effectively communicate your reasoned arguments, orally or in writing.
You will acquire new knowledge and understanding of the principles and values of law and justice, and youll learn how law can be used to benefit individuals and societies, including the most marginalised in our community.
During the course you will study the fundamental areas of legal knowledge. For example, Public Law where youll learn about how the country is organised and run, Criminal Law which includes examining punishment and the rehabilitation of individuals who break the law, and Contract Law where youll learn about how legal agreements are made and operate between people and companies. Additionally, you will choose History modules from topics such as Early Medieval Wales, Britain in the Jazz Age and The Guardians of Heritage.
Youll also have the opportunity to choose from exciting law optional modules such as International Law, Commercial Law, Human Rights, Roman Law & Legal History, Philosophy of Law and Family Law. If you choose our Work Placement module you will get the opportunity to experience legal work in a real-life situation.

Careers
A Bangor Law degree opens up exciting career paths in law and in many other rewarding areas where you can make a difference to people's lives and the planet.
Throughout your studies youll acquire the academic knowledge and be introduced to the skills needed to pursue a legal career should you wish to go on to qualify as a solicitor or barrister. You may wish to work in the public sector as a government lawyer, or in the private sector, specialising in commercial law, immigration law or criminal law.
If you dont want to practise as a solicitor or barrister, you may still wish to work in an area where your legal training and knowledge would be advantageous and where you can work to make a positive difference. Many non-governmental organisations (charities) require people with legal backgrounds to work as policy officers, campaigners and advice workers. International organisations, such as the United Nations offer tremendous opportunities to those who are looking for an international career.
As an LLB Law graduate, you will be able to pursue career opportunities in a wide range of other areas not necessarily connected to the law but for which the general and intellectual skills acquired during a law degree make you extremely well qualified. These may include the civil service, journalism, the media and creative industries, the probation service, the police and the prison service.
