Course summary
Combining law with French, German, or Spanish is both fascinating and a smart career move, and in this diploma, you'll divide your study equally between the two subjects, gaining a solid foundation in both key concepts related to law and the use of your chosen language. You’ll raise your legal awareness and acquire skills in legal analysis and methods, and by combining law with a modern language, you'll gain a valuable specialism that opens doors to the global workplace, with your diploma name reflecting your chosen language (e.g., Diploma of Higher Education in Law and German). The law modules in this qualification cover the legal system in England and Wales only, not any other parts of the UK. Key features of the course
- Develops a solid understanding of the role of law in society today
- Provides you with legal awareness and the skills of legal analysis and methods
- Supports you into an independent user of your chosen language, reaching level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages
- Broadens your knowledge of the cultures that use your chosen language
- Improves competence in intercultural communication
Modules
This diploma has two stages, with your study divided equally between law and languages. In Stage 1, you’ll study an introductory law module. You’ll choose your language and study two language modules. Next, in Stage 2, you’ll study two 30-credit law modules and a 60-credit language module in your chosen language.
