LLB Law and French
Joint programmes allow you to study law alongside another named academic discipline. Over four years of study you will take a range of courses from both the Law School and the School with which your programme is combined.
Studying a joint degree at Edinburgh provides you with wide-ranging academic foundations and a broader qualification to apply for postgraduate degrees or employment.
The joint LLB in Law and French aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of the law, as well as enabling you to study a language spoken in 29 countries throughout Africa and Europe, as well as in Canada.
Alongside intensive study of the French language, you will explore Francophone culture – its literature and cinema, but also its fascinating political history and philosophical ideas.
This programme also includes a compulsory year abroad in Year 3 at an institution which teaches in French, offering you the chance to have a culturally immersive experience in another country whilst also developing your legal and language skills.

Job Opportunity Potential
After graduating you can progress on to the legal profession in Scotland by completing the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, followed by a traineeship with a legal firm, to qualify as a solicitor.
Please note however that this is only possible following a joint degree programme if you have been able to complete all additional courses required for the Diploma.
You can then opt to go to the Bar, to qualify as an advocate. This requires a period of 'devilling' under the supervision and direction of a practising advocate.
