This law degree will allow you to learn about the law, both in the sense of ‘thinking like a lawyer’ and seeing law as a social institution, within two different legal systems.
You’ll study key topics within law and the legal sector such as contract law and criminal law, as well as the broader context of the law and its relationship with society. At the same time, you’ll be introduced to the Spanish legal system and develop your language skills in preparation for your third year studying law at a Spanish university.
A wide range of optional modules will allow you to pursue your interests in specialist legal areas such as company law, human rights law, environmental law and family law. You could also explore topics in criminal justice and criminology, such as policing or youth crime.
Throughout the course, you’ll gain diverse skills that will be valuable to you as a citizen, as well as in your professional career – whether you choose to enter the legal profession or not.

Course programme

Year 1 provides you with a firm foundation in contract and constitutional law. Our Foundations of Law module equips you to study law at undergraduate level and gives you the chance to practice mooting. Meanwhile, a core language module will help you develop and enhance your Spanish language skills, and you’ll gain an understanding of different constitutional systems within Europe.

In the following year you’ll build on your knowledge and skills with an understanding of criminal law and torts. Additional core modules will develop your research skills and examine the relationships between law, the legal system and wider society. Your choice of optional module will allow you to focus on a topic that suits your interests and career plans, such as financial services law, youth crime or employment law. In addition, you’ll learn about legal systems in different countries across Europe, and continue with more advanced language study to prepare you to spend Year 3 studying in Spain.

Year 3 is spent studying abroad at one of our partner institutions in Spain.

Your final year will give you the chance to apply your research skills to an independent dissertation on a topic of your choice, which you’ll work on with your supervisor. At the same time you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of EU law as well as key facets of English law such as land law and equity and trusts. A final choice of optional modules will allow you to refine your language skills or gain specialist knowledge in an area such as war crimes, discrimination law or penology.
