Course summary

A future‑focused law degree that builds global skills, sharp thinking and the confidence to thrive in your legal career.
This course gives you a clear, engaging understanding of how law is made, why it evolves and how it works in real life. You’ll build sharp analytical, research and reasoning skills, explore major areas of law and criminology, and develop your French to a high level. With a year spent studying law at a partner university in France, you’ll gain rare insight into a legal system completely different from England and Wales.
You’ll learn why law matters far beyond courtrooms — how it shapes society, influences behaviour and responds to global challenges. Along the way, you’ll develop the kind of critical thinking, communication and cultural awareness that employers value everywhere, not just within the legal profession.
Armed with this blend of legal expertise, international experience and practical opportunities through our award‑winning pro bono projects, you’ll be ready for a wide range of careers. Whether you pursue law, enter another sector or simply want to make a confident impact as a global citizen, this degree opens doors.
Student profile: Tomilayo Fadoju
“Combining Law with French was one of the best decisions I ever made. Having the French language skill under my belt has opened countless doors for me and sat me at tables that others could not access.”

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

If the most common grade accepted is higher than our entry requirements, this is due to the attainment of our applicants. If you have been made an offer and you meet or exceed the grades of your offer, you will be accepted.

If grades lower than our entry requirements have been accepted, in most cases this is because we operate contextual admissions as part of our decision making, which considers factors beyond grades. For more information about contextual admissions, please visit our website.
