Course Overview

The first two years of your course will be spent here in Leicester, leading to the award of the LLB degree (conferred at the end of your time in Strasbourg). You will then move to the Université de Strasbourg for a further two years. Successful completion of the programme there culminates in the award of a Maîtrise en droit mention 'droits français et anglais'. You will also gain a specialisation in private, corporate, or public European law.

When you graduate you will be awarded with two qualifying law degrees: LLB and Maîtrise. These qualifications will reflect your competence in English, French, and European law. The Maîtrise is similar to the LLB in that it qualifies you for the professional examinations in France.

Your bilingualism and proficiency in multiple legal systems will make you a perfect candidate for European bodies, such as the Council for Europe or European Parliament. As many leading law firms have branches in other countries or undertake cross-border work, this course will give you a distinct competitive advantage when beginning your legal career.
