Overview

The LLB at UCLan Cyprus can provide the basis for the next stage of training as a barrister (Bar Professional Training Course) or solicitor in England and Wales.

The LLB has been recognised as a qualifying law degree by the Cyprus Legal Council and was recently revalidated by CYQAA.

Exclusively in Cyprus, UCLan Cyprus LLB graduates receive the same recognised law degree, with identical rights, as any graduate of an English or Welsh university. This allows them to take professional exams in London without needing a new degree. Globally, an English law degree is recognised by professional bodies in many countries, including Cyprus and other Commonwealth jurisdictions.

This unique programme in Cyprus combines English legal heritage with current English and Cypriot law. For the benefit of local students, the teaching of the two systems is integrated within modules, and where the law differs significantly, separate Cypriot law modules are provided.

Thus, local students graduate with excellent knowledge of both English and Cypriot law, as well as legal terminology in English and Greek. The programme is designed so that students may, if they wish, avoid the Cypriot law modules, be taught exclusively in English, and follow a regular English law curriculum.

Considering Cyprus’s international orientation and the growing cross-border nature of legal relations, modules in commercial, corporate, and business law are offered at various levels. European and International Law are extensively covered, while national law (England & Wales and Cyprus) is also studied.

Our Law graduates are in high demand: you will find them as lawyers in Cyprus, barristers or solicitors in the UK, or as legal professionals internationally. You will also develop skills attractive to many employers, beyond traditional legal roles: executives, business leaders, compliance officers, educators, researchers, civil society leaders, policy officers, public officials, and more.

Programme Structure

Graduates will hold substantive legal knowledge and key transferable skills valued highly by employers. Law graduates are highly employable in a wide-range of careers: legal profession; public and private sector administration and management; advisory services; ancillary legal professions; legal enforcement and regulation services; business, banking, insurance and financial services; primary, secondary and tertiary education.

To help students, graduates and alumni in their professional development and career achievements, the School of Law proposes enhanced professional development opportunities.
