Course summary

Combining law with French, German or Spanish is both stimulating and a smart career move. You’ll divide your study equally between both subjects. It offers a solid grounding in key concepts associated with law and in the use of your chosen language. With this diploma, you’ll raise your legal awareness and acquire skills in legal analysis and methods. The study of a modern language opens doors to other cultures and communities, and can provide a key to the global workplace. The name of your diploma will reflect 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.
  • Develops you into an independent user of your chosen language, reaching level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
  • Develops solid knowledge of the cultures that use your chosen language, and solid intercultural communication competence.

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.
