Program Overview

Go global with a year abroad – study law at one of our prestigious partner universities overseas.

Legal firms around the world are expanding on an international scale. Our LLB in Global Law gives you the opportunity to experience life in a different country, study law in a different jurisdiction, and diversify your legal portfolio beyond the UK.

This exciting four-year degree follows the same structure as the traditional Law LLB, with an additional year studying abroad with one of our prestigious partner universities in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

In your first year you’ll study the core principles of law and learn the skills you need to read and apply legal documents, such as Acts of Parliament, EU legislation and case reports. Your second and final years will allow you to choose from a range of specialist fields, such as human rights law, criminology, intellectual property and medical negligence. Your year abroad will give you a solid understanding of an international legal system and expand your general legal knowledge – aiding your final year of study, which you’ll complete back in London.
