Overview

The LLB Law with International Foundation Year for International Students degree at University of Reading programme is designed for international students, and will prepare and enable you to undertake an undergraduate law degree if you don't currently hold the correct qualifications.

Key facts:

Known as Year 0, the foundation year is designed to equip you with law-specific and general study skills to help you cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is focused on the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. In the National Student Survey 2023, 90% of our students said that teaching staff were good or very good at explaining things (90% of respondents studying in the School of Law).
Upon the successful completion of Year 0, including a module in law, you will progress onto our accredited three-year LLB Law programme, where you'll develop your legal knowledge and gain real-life experience.
This guarantee means it is possible to seek a single four-year visa that will cover the whole duration of your studies.
