Description

Type

Bachelor's degree
Location

London

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 are the same as the first two in the three-year LLB degree, with two exceptions:
First-year students are required to take a module in French law, taught in French 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 French to meet the academic demands of the degree.
Second-year students are required to take the European Legal Studies module, which includes tuition in French about the law and legal system of France.
The third year of study is spent abroad at UCL's partner university in France. The typical programme of study for this year leads to a certificate in French Law and comprises two full-year courses plus six one-semester courses in Civil/Private Law, Public Law and other optional courses in French Law.
