Put an international perspective on your legal studies with this popular combination. As a qualifying law degree, it will still exempt you from the academic stage of qualifying as a solicitor or barrister.
The law doesn’t operate in isolation and in this course you’ll gain valuable insights into the global political context of the law as well as the social and cultural aspects of how the legal system functions.
Three-quarters of the course focuses on law, so you’ll learn how law is made and administered, gain an understanding of the criminal justice system and study key aspects of the civil and criminal law.
For the international relations part of the course, we’ll give you a solid introduction to the subject in your first year. You’ll then take one international relations module in each of your second and third years.

About this course
This course will give you a comprehensive understanding of the law and its place in the criminal justice system. In the first two years you’ll build firm foundations by studying the fundamentals of the law, taking modules that include the Legal System and Legal Methods, and Constitutional and Administrative Law.
As you progress into your second and final years, you’ll study aspects of civil and criminal law, along with modules in Human Rights and European Union Law.
For International Relations, you’ll begin with an introductory course in International Studies, with the option of International Organisation and Global Governance or International Relations Theory in your second year. For the final year you’ll take the Politics of Global Powers module.
As well as learning about your subject, you’ll also gain other key skills such as the ability to research, to communicate effectively and to think analytically – qualities much in demand by potential employers whatever career path you choose.
Graduates in Law with International Relations gain skills and knowledge that are high demand from employers across a range of different fields.
Many of our students go on to enjoy successful careers as solicitors after completing their legal studies through the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and obtaining a training contract with a law firm.
Some become barristers, going on to take the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) and then obtaining Pupillage in barristers’ chambers. This can lead to a tenancy as a self-employed barrister, or you can practise as an employed barrister.
Other students use their legal knowledge and the other skills and qualities they develop at UEL to pursue different careers. Communication skills, such as writing, speaking and presenting, and the ability to analyse and evaluate information are in demand by employers.
Other career options include:
• General management roles in the private or voluntary sectors, e.g. in finance, insurance, media or education
• Teaching or journalism
• Public administration, e.g. in local government housing, planning or legal departments
• Paralegal or legal executive work in a variety of sectors.
Some students go on to postgraduate study or work in the voluntary/charity sector.
