LLB (Hons) Law with French Law

This undergraduate Law degree has been designed to meet the need for legally and linguistically equipped lawyers who can cooperate and negotiate with European partners within a changing European context.

The French legal system belongs to the continental European family of legal systems known as Civil Law. By contrast, England is the home of Common Law, a family of legal systems which also embraces many nations outside Europe including the USA. During this undergraduate Law degree course you will familiarise yourself with both legal systems, thereby gaining comparative experience of two of the world's major legal families.

Primarily a qualifying law degree course with French as an important subsidiary element, during years one, two and four of the programme, you will study approximately two-thirds English law subjects and one-third French language and French law subjects. In your third year you will have the exciting opportunity to study in France or French-speaking Canada.
