The information on this page is accurate for students entering the programme from September 2025. For students who entered the programme before September 2025, you can find the details of your programme: LLB Law with German Law
This degree allows you to learn about how and why law is created and changed, and how it operates as a social institution. You will gain expertise in analysis, research, logical argument and more, as you develop an understanding of key legal topics and subject areas. At the same time you will develop your German language skills and, through a third year studying law at one of our partner institutions, learn about a legal system that is very different to that of England and Wales.
Through core and optional legal modules, you’ll examine the broader context of the law and its relationship with society. You can develop your interests in specialist legal areas, which might include company law, employment law, human rights law, environmental law, media law and family law, amongst others. You could also explore topics in criminal justice and criminology, such as policing or youth crime.
Throughout the course you will gain diverse skills that will be valuable to you as a global citizen, as well as in your professional career – whether you choose to enter the legal profession or not.
Year 1 covers many of the foundational topics in English law. Alongside these, our Legal Skills module equips you to study law at undergraduate level, and a core language module will help you develop and enhance your German language skills. The Professions, Reflections, Identities, Motivations and Ethics (PRIME) module will give you the opportunity to reflect upon important issues such as your personal and professional goals, your identity and how to protect your wellbeing on a personal and professional level.
In the following year you’ll build on your legal knowledge and skills, and examine the broader relationship between law, the legal system and wider society. You will also start to learn about different legal systems and legal cultures, in preparation for your year abroad.
Year 3 is spent studying abroad at a partner institution in Germany.
Your final year will give you the chance to apply your research skills to an independent project on a topic of your choice. At the same time, you will complete your study of law with compulsory and further optional modules to allow you to gain specialist knowledge.
