The Foundation Year serves as an ideal starting point to acquire the essential knowledge and competencies required for the LLB Law in Practice with Politics degree. During this year, you'll explore fundamental legal concepts while developing valuable skills that will support your entire undergraduate journey.
The Foundation Year is delivered at The College on our Bay Campus. Upon successful completion, you'll transition to the School of Law at Singleton Campus for the subsequent stages of your degree.
This program offers thorough preparation in fundamental legal disciplines. As you advance, you can select from an impressive array of over forty optional modules across various legal specializations. Your fourth year features a paid legal internship, providing practical experience and career-enhancing skills that will prove invaluable for your professional future.
Operating jointly between the Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Law and the School of Social Sciences, you'll enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of two dynamic academic communities that prioritize student experience.
Swansea University has built significant recognition for excellence in both legal and political education, regularly contributing to policy development across multiple sectors. We maintain an unwavering focus on enhancing teaching quality and placing students at the core of everything we do.
Foundation Year classes are intentionally kept small to ensure tailored learning experiences. You'll develop crucial abilities through modules like Critical Analysis, Digital Literacy, and Academic Writing.
Furthermore, you'll gain exposure to legal principles and vocabulary through diverse teaching approaches covering Legal Methodology, Contractual Principles, and Criminal Justice Systems.
Our learning environment fosters inclusivity and student engagement. With varied teaching and assessment methods, we encourage independent learning, collaborative work, professional conduct, and skill development.
