Combining both theory and research with practical application and skills-based training, the degree emphasises an understanding of law in context and aims to encourage a broad outlook on legal issues, an understanding of the functions of law and of the legal system, as well as an appreciation of the place of rules of law in the construction of politics and society.

Dr.K.RuwanPerera, Deputy Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Faculty of Laws at Horizon Campus, cited, “the degree we offer through the University of London is developed to give an in depth understanding of legal principles and methodologies and exposes students to real life problems and insights derived from practical experience. This kind of solid grounding will make students highly skilled, civic minded, critically engaged graduates, who can positively contribute to the legal profession and be excellent candidates for top careers whilst also contributing to uplifting the standards of the profession in the country.”
He further added “the University of London LL.B. degree is one that is recognised by the Sri Lanka Law College, for a student who wishes to be qualified as an Attorney at Law within 18 months of having completed his or her LLB. Therefore, any prospective graduate student could potentially be an Attorney at Law within 4 ½ years after commencement of the degree programme. Potential students can also seek employment in the commercial world, the banking sector, the International arena or even in academia, as the degree they would read for is world recognised and acclaimed. Hence, one could safely say that reading the LL.B would open doors in all sectors for a potential graduate student.
