European Legal Studies

Languages are an essential tool when it comes to competing in a global jobs market. Speaking different legal languages gives you a significant advantage in our increasingly interconnected world. Speaking a client’s language gives a great first impression. And if there’s no language barrier, it makes it easier for them to understand technical points.

Westminster’s unique European Legal Studies LLB will equip you with the core skills to solve legal issues and develop your intercultural awareness and understanding of the different legal systems within Europe.

Why is it unique? As with all our Law courses, you take control of your learning pathway by choosing from a wide variety of creative modules. Through immersive lectures, seminars, tutorials, and one-to-one sessions, you are encouraged to find your voice and express your ideas in a safe and supportive environment.

In addition, the European Legal Studies LLB allows you to develop your language skills. With a compulsory year abroad in Year 3, you'll study at one of our prestigious partner universities in Europe.

Although we encourage independent learning, you'll always be supported by our talented team. Even during your year abroad, we maintain regular contact with you through our academic exchange coordinator and your personal academic tutor.

We are proud that the employment rate of our Law graduates has been consistently high. Whether you’re looking to study for the Bar, be a solicitor, enter the wider law profession or continue your studies to a higher level, this course will help you develop the immersive professional skills you need to make your mark in the European legal world.
