English and French Law LLB (Hons)

Broaden your legal horizons by studying English and French law at world-class law schools in London and Paris.

Our double degree in English and French Law is run jointly with Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. This new integrated programme brings together expertise from two first-class law schools, giving you an impressive knowledge of the French and English legal systems and a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a bilingual legal culture.

Your first two years in London will cover the foundations of English legal knowledge - elements of contract law, land law, law in context, tort law, equity and trusts, criminal law, public law, and law of the EU. Your third and fourth years in Paris will cover French law, comparative law, international law and European law. Upon graduation you'll qualify to practice law in France, England and Wales.

If after your first or second year you wish to stay in London, you have the flexibility to transfer to our traditional Law LLB and complete your degree at Queen Mary.

Professional recognition

This double degree will satisfy the academic stage of qualification for the purpose of entry into the legal profession in England, Wales and France. The LLB is recognised as a qualifying law degree by both branches of the legal profession in England and Wales, and allows the appropriate exemptions from professional examination requirements.
