Law with French Law UCL

Overview

The Law Faculty offers a wide range of subjects and employs a variety of teaching methods. The degree programme provides both a general liberal education and a basis for careers not only in the legal profession but also in fields as diverse as the civil service, local government, the social services, higher education, the armed forces, business, industry, the media, finance and accountancy.

We start the first two weeks of the first academic year with a two-week induction programme: Laws' Connections: Legal Doctrine and Contemporary Challenges.  Laws' Connections is designed to be an inspiring introduction to the study of law here at  University College London (UCL) Laws, and to the role of law in addressing social challenges.

What this course will give you

You will spend your third year abroad at Université Paris II Panthéon-Assas.

The year spent abroad studying French Law will enhance your critical analysis skills and equip you for the fourth and final year at UCL.

Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a Bachelor of Laws from UCL as well as either a University certificate from Paris II, Certificat supérieur de droit français et international or the French national degree: Licence 3.

The award of the Paris II certificate or Licence 3 offers you opportunities to continue your studies in France at the end of your UCL degree programme if you wish.

You will be taught by distinguished academics who are cutting-edge researchers in their diverse fields.

The international scope of our Law with French Law degrees is reflected in the content of different topics, itself reflecting the expertise of our staff in international and comparative law.

Employability

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.
