LLB Law with History
About this course
Law with history is a combination that gives you one of the most practically powerful and professionally recognised academic qualifications alongside a rigorous training in historical method, evidence, and interpretation. Law examines the rules and principles that regulate conduct and resolve disputes in society, developing your ability to analyse complex problems, apply legal reasoning, and communicate persuasively in both written and spoken form. History develops your capacity for critical analysis of sources, for situating events in their wider context, and for constructing sustained arguments from incomplete evidence. The two disciplines reinforce each other in ways that make both more intellectually interesting. At Bangor University, this three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year, a sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placement opportunities, providing a particularly rich structural framework alongside the academic content. The foundation year gives you a supported introduction to both law and history before you progress into the main degree. The sandwich year and placement opportunities allow you to develop professional legal or historical work experience during the degree, and the year abroad gives you exposure to a different legal system and historical perspective. You will study the core subjects of English law alongside history modules that are integrated with the legal content to deepen your understanding of both disciplines. A typical entry tariff of 104 points, combined with the foundation year, makes the programme broadly accessible. Graduates of law with history degrees pursue careers as solicitors or barristers, following the appropriate professional training routes, or move into the civil service, journalism, academia, corporate compliance, legal publishing, and many other fields where legal knowledge and analytical precision are valued. The history component opens additional career pathways in research, education, heritage, and policy. Many graduates continue to postgraduate study in law, legal practice, or history, and the combination of legal and historical training is particularly valued in areas such as human rights, constitutional law, and international law.
