Law and French (Integrated) | Bachelor's degree | Law | On Campus | 4 years | Cardiff University | United Kingdom

The LLB Law and French program is both challenging and stimulating, enabling you to build the skills required for a career in law or a wide range of professions. Legal practice increasingly takes place on a global stage, and Cardiff’s LLB programs in law and languages aim to produce lawyers not only fully competent in the law of England and Wales, but also fluent in the chosen language and conversant with the general culture, political institutions and legal system of another country. The Law and French program is taught in collaboration with the School of Modern Languages. Throughout the program, in addition to developing high-level language skills, students gain an in-depth intercultural understanding that encompasses a specific knowledge of French cultures allied to the ability to navigate and mediate between more than one culture. Students develop high-level communication and critical-thinking skills, and foster resilience and independence through time spent in immersive foreign language contexts. On completion of this four-year program, you will have a high level of proficiency in the French language, as well as a critical understanding of key aspects of French history, culture, literature, politics and contemporary society. In addition to the foundation modules constituting the academic stage of training that is necessary to become a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales, known as the ‘Qualifying Law Degree’, we offer a wide selection of optional study areas which cover traditional and contemporary legal subjects. Our degree enables you to complete the academic stage of training to become a barrister or solicitor and to proceed directly to the vocational stages of training for the legal profession in England and Wales: the Bar Professional Training Course or Legal Practice Course. We are the only Russell Group University to offer both of these courses, meaning that you have the option to stay with us in Cardiff to complete your entire legal education
