LLB English and French Law (Licence)

Our challenging and competitive course gives you the rewarding intellectual experience of discovering the richness of both the French and English legal cultures. We are one of only a few universities in the UK which put students on the right path to qualify for legal practice in both the UK and France. We also offer a valuable scholarship, specifically for students on this course.

Your first two years on our prestigious LLB English and French Law course are spent at Essex, where you take the required modules in English Law, meeting the requirements for the academic stages of training to become a solicitor or barrister in the UK. During this time in the UK you also learn French law, which is taught in French.

After two years at Essex, your third year is spent at one of the following partner institutions in France, where you follow modules in French law to obtain the Licence en Droit:

• Paris-Nanterre University
• Toulouse Capitole University
• Lyon III Jean Moulin University
• University of the French Riviera

Students will pay University of Essex tuition fees for the first and second year of study and will pay tuition fees to their French university for their third year.
