Undergraduate students seeking a law career foundation should study LLB (Bachelor of Laws) which provides their basic legal education. The duration of law study at undergraduate level stands at three years for those transferring from an unrelated bachelor program and at five years for high school graduates pursuing their first bachelor degree. The educational program teaches students about four different areas: constitutional law and criminal law and contract law alongside legal theory.
The bar license becomes accessible to graduates who finish their LLB through successful bar examination completion although additional requirements for practice exist in specific countries. Obtaining this degree becomes mandatory when planning to work as a lawyer although it provides entry to different careers that span from business to politics and public policy work. LLB receives international recognition from various countries which enhances its suitability as a legal qualification for those entering the profession.
