LAW WITH FRENCH LAW LLB Honours
Course summary
Our course provides you with the foundation subjects required to obtain a Law Degree, along with an exciting and dynamic educational experience, which includes the opportunity to spend a year studying at one of our partner universities in France.
Law is an interesting and challenging discipline, which impacts at every level, from people's individual daily lives to the operations of Government on the international stage.
Increasingly, the international dimension to legal study has become more important, across a wide range of legal areas, as the influence of the European Union and international organisations have become so significant.
Our course enables you to gain invaluable experience of another legal culture while acquiring knowledge of its legal language and legal system. It will also equip you with the transferable and cognitive skills necessary for lifelong personal and professional development.
When you apply, you'll need to demonstrate a good working knowledge of French to ensure you're able to study in France. You'll spend the third year of your degree at a French partner university and study law in French.
Our current French partners are the universities of Bordeaux, Paris-Ouest-Nanterre and Toulouse-Capitole. On successful completion of your year abroad, you'll return to Westminster in Year 4 to complete your studies.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
