What is a law degree like?
How many hours a week would you be studying?
Each university will vary in terms of the amount of teaching and independent studying required, but you should be able to find this out prior to applying. At the University of Law, a full time undergraduate LLB course is 40 hours a week.
This is broken down into different elements: 28 hours of preparing for classes such as independent learning, preparation tasks and group work, plus 6 hours of workshops, followed by 6 hours of consolidation work. We offer this course as an online option, which has the same time commitment. Part-time courses are half the time commitment per week.
