Duration
4 Years
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The first two years of study for this programme are the same as for the three-year LLB degree, with these exceptions: First-year students are required to take a module in German law, taught in German and including law, legal institutions and legal terminology. The department does not offer language tuition and students will be responsible for maintaining, or, if necessary, improving their linguistic ability in German to meet the academic demands of the degree. Second-year students are required to take the European Legal Studies module, which includes tuition in German about the law and legal system of Germany.The third and fourth years of study are spent at the Universität zu Köln studying towards the German Law degree in accordance with the host university's requirements for the degree programme. During this time, students will be registered as full-time undergraduates of the host university.

About this course
This programme leads to the award of both the LLB English and German Law honours degree from UCL and the Bachelor of Laws from the Universität zu Köln. You will be taught by distinguished academics who are cutting-edge researchers in their fields. Their knowledge of law and their significant experience and influence will enrich your learning. The international scope of our degrees is reflected in the content of different topics, itself reflecting the expertise of our staff in international and comparative law.
As a law student you will be encouraged to develop a critical awareness of how the law works and how it may be changed, to sharpen your powers of reasoning, and to develop both the technical expertise to solve legal problems and the capacity to determine whether a solution is fair and just. The wide range of skills and subjects learned throughout your degree open up many opportunities when you graduate. Many UCL Laws graduates move directly to further vocational study and train to become solicitors or barristers. Recent graduates have also chosen employment in government, political service and commercial management. Some have selected to undertake further academic study.
English Language and Mathematics at grade B or 6. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.
All UCL Laws undergraduate programmes are recognised as qualifying law degrees (QLDs) by the two main legal professional bodies—the Bar Standard Board and the Solicitors Regulation Authority—for the purpose of exemption from the academic stage of their professional examinations.
