Graduates will be able to top up to Teesside University to complete their LLB (Hons) in Law in order to achieve their qualifying law degree. This can take up to an additional two-years to complete. Alternatively, learners may wish to top up to the BSC (Hons) in Law which will take one year to complete.Those learners who wish to go straight in to practice may wish to top up onto our CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ) or apply for a Higher-Level Legal Apprenticeship.
