Summary
Learn how Bloomsbury Institute London’s LLB Law & Legal Practice, approved by CILEx Regulation, prepares students for real legal careers. Gain practical experience, access specialist pathways, and explore salary prospects and global recognition for CILEx-qualified professionals.
For a practical and flexible law career that prepares you for real legal work from day one, the LLB (Hons) Law & Legal Practice at Bloomsbury Institute London is an excellent choice.
Officially approved by CILEx Regulation, this degree combines academic study with professional legal training in a single, integrated program.
CILEX (Chartered Institute of Legal Executives) offers an alternative and modern route into the legal profession.
Instead of following the traditional “law degree → training contract → solicitor route,” CILEX gives students several advantages:
You can qualify while working, providing flexibility.
You learn practical, industry-relevant skills, not just legal theory.
You progress step-by-step, and each stage is recognised.
You can specialise early in the legal area you’re interested in.
Bloomsbury Institute combines CILEx-aligned academics with practical legal skills, preparing graduates to be job-ready from day one.
In August 2022, CILEx Regulation officially approved Bloomsbury Institute as an accredited training provider. This makes BIL’s LLB (Hons) Law & Legal Practice the first and only degree in England and Wales aligned directly with CILEx academic standards.
This means:
The degree meets CILEx academic requirements.
Students complete the “academic stage” needed to become a legal executive.
You don’t need to do a separate academic qualification after your LLB.
Your degree already aligns with CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ) requirements.
In short: you get an LLB and your CILEX academic stage together, saving time, cost, and stress.
