Course overview

Looking to study law while immersing yourself in Spanish culture? Want to gain a global perspective on your studies and enhance your CV? Our BA Law with Spanish and Spanish Law provides this opportunity, while thoroughly covering foundations of English Law.

The degree covers core modules examining areas such as tort, contract, trusts and criminal law. The course is run in partnership with the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures, and you will also take core modules to develop your Spanish speaking and writing.

In your third year, you will have the opportunity to study in Spain at a current partner law school, where you will study the Spanish legal system and develop advanced Spanish language skills. This unique experience will not only enhance your education but also offer you a remarkable cultural experience.

Our programme opens doors to a wide variety of professions and organisations, including law firms, barristers’ chambers, consultancies, business advisory services, marketing, civil service, public relations, accountancy, and campaigning. For example, recent graduates have secured positions at Clifford Chance, the Barristers’ Chambers 7 King’s Bench Walk, the London Stock Exchange, PwC and BAE Systems. 

At our School of Law, we pride ourselves on providing not just academic excellence, but also a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Our law societies cater to a wide range of interests, from pro bono volunteering to placements, offering you the chance to make an impact and build your network.
