I have been hearing from so many of you about the confusion this degree title causes during initial job applications. It feels like we are constantly explaining ourselves instead of highlighting our actual legal training when we walk into interviews.

Seeing this level of support confirms that students are tired of explaining their degree title to every potential employer. This momentum proves that our professional future is a priority that the university can no longer ignore.

It is about time the university recognizes the work we put in. BA just sounds less professional in the legal sector.
its so frustrating when recruiters dont understand what a BA in law actually means compared to an LLB. this needs to change.
good luck to everyone pushing for this, it would help us out so much when applying for training contracts in the future.
Totally agree. We do the exact same modules as the law students so why is our degree titled differently? Makes no sense.
Since we put as much effort into studying as LLB students, our degree classification should not differ!
Let's do this :)
good luck!
