Our three-year LLB Law courses and two-year Law Graduate Entry LLB course are recognised for professional purposes by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board in the UK.

As part of our law courses, you can study an optional module in Canadian Constitutional Law and we plan to add more Canada-specific course content in the future.

The Federation of Law Societies National Committee on Accreditation for Canada (NCA) regulates access to the legal profession from lawyers who have taken law degrees outside Canada.

The NCA recognises both the LLB Law degrees at Sussex. However, you need to achieve at least a 2:2 degree result and take Canadian Law exams in Canada.
