Course Overview
At Leicester, you will combine the research expertise of Leicester Law School with our excellence in teaching Modern Languages (ranked 9th in the UK by The Guardian University Guide 2021). You will also benefit from the opportunity to study abroad for a year in a country related to your courses. It has never been more beneficial to understand more than one language. As many leading law firms have branches in several countries, your language skills and experience living abroad will give you a competitive edge when beginning your legal career. The Law with a Modern Language LLB will divide your learning between law and your chosen modern language. Law modules will cover the fundamentals of the English legal system, while your language education will advance your spoken, written, and cultural understanding. This is a joint honours course, in which Law modules make up 75% of the content, with Modern Languages modules accounting for the other 25%.
