Three routes open at the start of Level 6 on LLB (Hons) Law: an SQE pathway for future solicitors, a Bar pathway that includes EU Law, and an International Bar pathway with a set syllabus ending in a Legal Dissertation. Course notes say the degree covers the foundations of legal knowledge and was updated to reflect changes to professional qualifications, with workshops to help you choose a pathway. The next intake is December 2026. Standard entry is two A levels plus three GCSEs at grade C, or two years of professional experience with a CV and reference. Paralegals and legal admin staff are typical applicants. AF Education gives England-resident UK home students free help with Student Finance England.

AF Education does not guarantee jobs or progression. The degree aims to build knowledge and transferable skills valued across related roles.
Course overview from Arden University
Our LLB course, available at our UK study centres and as a fully online degree, covers the foundations of legal knowledge and has been updated to reflect recent changes to professional practice qualifications. You now have the opportunity to select from distinct degree pathways to help you prepare either for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE 1) or the Bar, including an International Bar pathway for those students looking to study modules that are more international in scope.
However, we don’t expect all our students to make a concrete decision about their future career when they first join us, and this law degree isn’t just for those that want to work in the legal sector. You will develop a suite of workplace attributes that are valued across a wide range of careers, helping you graduate with a highly regarded qualification that provides value for a lifetime. Our team of academics, practitioners, and research-active staff are committed to providing a thriving learning environment that supports you in taking the next steps in your career.
With this professionally focused law degree, you’ll learn practical skills for your future employability. At the start of level 6, you will have the opportunity to select a degree pathway that aligns with your career goals, whether that’s the SQE, Bar or International Bar. You will have workshops detailing the pathways and our team's guidance and support to help you make the right choice.
SQE (Solicitor) pathway
If you want to qualify as a solicitor in the UK, this pathway imparts the knowledge and skills needed to attempt SQE1 successfully. You will also have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge through a range of elective modules.
Bar (Barrister) pathway
Designed for students who wish to qualify as a barrister, this pathway includes EU Law, one of the Foundations of Legal Knowledge subjects required by the Bar Standards Board. You will also have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge through a range of elective modules.
International Bar pathway
With its more international curriculum, this pathway is most suited to students interested in practising law outside of the UK. The pathway has a set syllabus without the need to choose any additional optional modules and concludes with the Legal Dissertation module.
Law degrees are respected in all sectors due to their graduates' broader skills, such as critical thinking, effective communication, presentation, negotiation, and persuasion.
