Exerter uni ,cornwall

Hi I am 19 and I am thinking of transferring into the llb law course with business at exerter cornwall .Firstly is it a walifying law degree, is law with business a respected degree , can you specilaize in other areas such as criminal law despite the obvious corporate route , and in terms of the uni of exerter ,cornwall campus If i graduated from there would it show that I graduated at the uni of exerter ,cornwall campus or will it just say the university of exerter without mentioning which campus .
I wouldn't recommend it, the Cornwall Campus is just to leech international students with lower entry requirements for the course, it's also literally not in Exeter and next to Falmouth. Why bother travelling all the way there to study law in the middle of nowhere? Streatham Campus looks far better and has far better transport links.

But the main campus don't do law with business that's the problem .

I had a quick shufty at the University of Exeter website and didn't see an EU law module within the course offered by Exeter at its Cornwall campus, although I may have failed to notice that module. The absence of that module would mean that the law degree would not cover all seven of the subjects required by the BSB, unless EU law is covered within other modules.

The course appears to offer the basic criminal law component, divided into two parts, with no further modules about criminal law offered as optional modules. Having said that, it is not necessary to study a particular area of law in depth as an undergraduate in order to practise in or teach that area of law after graduating.

I cannot say whether a law with business degree is "respected". In broad terms, employers tend to respect academically rigorous degrees obtained at competitive universities. There are differing views as to the extent to which undergraduate degrees in business are respected. Even MBAs are not universally regarded as a good things. Whether they are or not depends on who you ask.

A degree obtained at the Cornwall branch of the University of Exeter would be awarded by that university. It is, by the way, nowadays quite common for employers in some competitive fields such as the law to conduct recruitment processes without disclosure of the universities where applicants obtained their degree. The quality of the degree matters more than the name attached to the degree, and it's the quality of the individual candidate that matters most.

The most important thing to understand is that Exeter only has one "r".

Huh?

The word "Exeter" only has one r. In your topic heading and opening post you spelled Exeter with two rs. Doing this once might suggest a typo, but you did it four times.

It might be considered polite to be able to spell the name of a university which you wish to join. But, hey, several reliable (completely made up) surveys show that at least 247% of posters on TSR can't spell the word "Russell"!

Hi Ghgfhgfff,

It is great to hear that you are interested in transferring to study Law and Business at our Penryn Campus.

Just to add to previous comments in this thread, the LLB Law with Business course is a fully qualifying law degree that does include modules on all seven foundations required by the Bar Standards Board. The content on EU law mentioned by Stiffy Byng is covered within module LAW1027C Constitutional Law. You can find out more about specific modules available to study each year on our website course page here. As an LLB degree, this will give you the required academic training to progress into a legal career as a solicitor or barrister if that is what you are interested in.

As mentioned in another thread on the same topic, it will not state which campus you studied at as part of your degree certificate. However, in the case of courses that are exclusively taught at only one location, the employer may be able to work this information out for themselves. For example, our LLB Law with Business course is currently only taught at our Penryn Campus and so if you have this degree title on your certificate it becomes self-evident where you have studied.

Contrary to Academic007's statement, the Cornwall Campus is generally not regarded with any significant difference to our other campuses in Devon, including St Luke's and Streatham. Our Penryn Campus exists to offer an alternative student lifestyle in Cornwall and to offer an alternative range of courses to our other campuses. For example, many of our Penryn Campus degrees have a significant focus on sustainability or the environment, which also influences the LLB Law with Business course that you are interested in via the provision of law modules on topics such as environmental law and business modules on topics such as the circular enterprise economy.

From a personal perspective, I have studied at the Penryn Campus for my undergraduate, postgraduate and now PhD and have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences here. In doing so, I have turned down offers to study at other very well regarded institutions such as Oxford, showing that I genuinely do believe in the quality of teaching, research and overall student experience at the University of Exeter's Penryn Campus.

If you have any other questions or concerns about this degree programme, or life on campus overall, I'd be happy to answer them. You may also like to make use of our Unibuddy chat service here, to talk to a range of current Exeter students across a range of courses and campuses to find out more from their first-hand perspectives. This includes Charlotte who is a current third year student on the LLB Law with Business course you are interested in transferring to.

I hope this is helpful, but please get in touch if I can assist with anything else.
