London South Bank University guarantees LLB students law clinic experience
London South Bank University has become the first in the UK to guarantee LLB students professional work experience as part of their degree.
Every LLB student at the university will be given the opportunity to work in one of five clinics through what it calls its ‘Law Clinic Guarantee’.
Professor Alex Kendall, dean of LSBU’s Law and Social Sciences School, said: “We are so proud LSBU is the first UK law school with a law clinic guarantee giving every student on our Law (Main) LLB course the opportunity to gain professional work experience in one of our five specialised law clinics.
“What LSBU Law students will learn on their professional work experience will make them stand out to employers giving them the best chance of finding great legal jobs.”
