Course summary

Study the law and how it shapes everyday life, while learning German to build valuable language skills. This combination builds critical thinking, communication and cross-cultural understanding. You’ll divide your time equally between both subjects. In law, you’ll gain a solid grounding in legal concepts and build skills in legal analysis and method. In German, you’ll develop your understanding of how the language is used in different cultural contexts, and how this can open doors to the global workplace. German is one of several languages you can study as part of our Certificate of Higher Education in Law and Languages.
