Program overview
A three year qualifying law degree with history, covering the foundations of legal knowledge alongside historical method, legal history and a final year dissertation.
Legal reasoning depends on precedent, so historical method sits closer to legal study than the combination might first appear.
Bachelor of Laws (Honours) in Law with History is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the law with history degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the law with history degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the law with history degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the law with history degree does not support a family move.
Applicants to Bachelor of Laws (Honours) in Law with History need Class 12 or equivalent with a minimum of 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the law with history degree is recorded at GBP 17,000. Bangor charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the law with history degree. The law with history degree lists only two entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the law with history degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

- Application and deposit: Bangor charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.

- Work rights: the law with history degree is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
