Bachelor of Laws (LLB) - Law with French Law (MR11)

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 students will familiarise themselves 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, students will study approximately two-thirds English law subjects and one-third French language and French law subjects. In the third year, students will have the exciting opportunity to study in France or French-speaking Canada.

For almost 100 years, Birmingham Law School have made a major contribution to teaching and scholarship, and students will learn from prestigious academics who are working at the top of their field influencing law and policy around the world.
