The LLB degree comes from the Latin Legum Baccalaureus. It is generally considered the Bachelor of Laws, even though most colleges that offer the LLB require previous university education for admission.

What is an LLB? Law students study common law on their way to becoming an attorney in their country of record. The LLB is no longer offered in the United States, but it is offered internationally. The US equivalent is the Juris Doctor (JD), and many countries are transitioning from the LLB to the JD. However, it is important to check the structure of the LLB from the country where you are receiving your degree to make sure that it allows you to take the bar exam.

The LLB is a graduate program that prepares you for a career in law. You have many opportunities to network with students and professors in your program, as well as decide which area of the law interests you.

The LLB generally takes around three years to complete. The tuition is determined by the school where you will be studying. Cost does vary, even within one country so check around for the best option for you. More colleges are offering flexibility with online and in-person classes, which enables you to continue working while completing postgraduate education.

Generally, after you complete the LLB, you will be ready to sit for the bar exam and become a full-fledged attorney in your country. This in itself is a satisfying career, but there are many opportunities to advance your education and specialize within the law. Even if you decide not to work as a solicitor or barrister, you have many opportunities in business or teaching to use your degree. Many lawyers eventually go on to a career in politics or the government to establish the laws that govern their country.

The legal profession is important to the business world and to individuals. There will always be a need for well-trained attorneys. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
