Hiya @Kiki2001
It's great that you are interested in studying at Essex.

Our LLB Law degree will enable you to progress onto a Bar Practice Course and prepare you in part for the new Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE). Not only that, the course also includes practical assessments and real-life scenarios to help reflect the new SQE regime.

Our degree will cover cover core aspects of the legal system, which will give you a robust understanding of areas such as:

criminal law, burden of proof and proposal for reform

the Human Rights Act and European Convention on Human Rights

legally enforceable contracts and the factors that render them unenforceable

tortious liability, negligence and duty of care

the nature of EU law, and the roles and functions of its institutions


Our courses are delivered through a virtual learning environment (VLE) instead of a traditional campus. This means you’ll have access to your study materials 24/7, including:

multimedia lecturecasts made up of written content, short videos, animation, audio recordings, infographics, short tests and mini-assignments

discussion forums for you to chat about the course content with fellow students

live seminars and Q&A sessions with your tutors

a comprehensive eLibrary of textbooks and academic journals



On average, your learning experience will include the following:

directed learning (40%) this includes participating in tutor-led discussions and seminars, completing interactive exercises on the VLE, and watching videos and lecturecasts. You’ll also be able to book appointments with your module tutor during their office hours, which can be found on the VLE

self-directed learning (30%) including undertaking wider reading and research in your area of study to develop your understanding of the subject area

assessment (30%) time spent preparing and completing assignments and activities that contribute towards your overall assessment

Typically, you’ll need to dedicate a minimum 15-20 hours of study per module, per week.

support from academic staff and your dedicated Student Support team


You’ll be assessed through a series of assignments. This can be by engaging in discussion forums throughout your modules, completing reflective journal entries, delivering live presentations or by submitting longer written pieces.

The dedicated tutors who teach our course modules are subject matter experts, experienced academics and leading industry thought leaders. They play a vital role in ensuring the latest theories and areas of study are covered in our courses, and are proud to provide a high level of academic support.

We have a careers service team that is always available to help you with job applications as well as we have our own Careers Hub website where you can have first hands on different jobs application from different institutions.

I hope this information is useful and of you have nay questions don't hesitate in getting in touch.😀
