Course Description
Queen Mary’s Law with History joint honours LLB offers an exciting opportunity to study the two subjects simultaneously, enabling you to gain a qualifying law degree while continuing to build on your interest in history.
You’ll split your studies between the two disciplines, studying core law principles and a module specifically designed to introduce you to the history of legal thought. During the three-year LLB you’ll cover the foundations of legal knowledge necessary for a qualifying law degree, and choose from a vast range of history option modules – such as society and culture in eighteenth century England, Anglo-American relations, the Russian Revolution and the Civil War.
You’ll graduate from Queen Mary with an ability to understand the practice of law in a historical context.
