Our four-year Law with French Law is specifically designed to prepare you for the demands of a global legal market. The courses include a year abroad studying at a university in France and are aimed at those with a strong grasp of the French language.
You will spend your first two years at Warwick, studying modules alongside students on our Law LLB course to develop a thorough grounding in English Law. In addition you’ll take Law modules related to your chosen country in French, taught in small groups by lecturers qualified in the French jurisdiction. Your third year is spent at one of our partner universities in your chosen country of study. Currently these are in Bordeaux, Lille and Paris (France). Thorough preparation for your year abroad and careful supervision while you are away ensure you’ll gain the maximum benefit from your time overseas. For the fourth and final year of your studies you will return to Warwick, and most students will study Law of Trusts alongside your choice of module options.
