Course summary
Law shapes the rules that govern everyday life, from individual rights to public policy. Combining the study of law with French, German or Spanish broadens your knowledge and expands your career opportunities. You’ll split your time between both subjects, exploring how the legal system works and developing skills in analysis, argument and critical thinking. At the same time, you’ll build language fluency and cultural understanding, which are valuable in both personal and professional contexts. With flexible study options and a degree title that reflects your language choice, you’ll graduate well prepared for further study or a wide range of careers. Key features of the course
