Learn about law in Paris

Spend your two years in London covering the foundations of English legal knowledge. This includes everything from elements of contract law and law in context, to equity and trusts, and the law of the EU. Then you’ll move to Paris to explore French law, comparative law, international law and European law.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a qualifying law degree that gives you access to legal professions in both countries and international organisations. If, after your first or second year, you decide to stay in London, you have the flexibility to transfer to our traditional Law LLB.
