LLB English and European Law
About this course
Law with a European dimension is a degree that provides a qualifying legal education in English law alongside exposure to and training in the laws and legal systems of a European jurisdiction. This dual focus reflects the increasingly international character of legal practice and the growing demand for lawyers who can operate across jurisdictions, advise clients with European interests, and understand how different legal traditions approach shared legal questions. English law is rooted in the common law tradition, while most continental European legal systems draw on civil law principles, and understanding both enriches your analytical toolkit considerably. At Queen Mary University of London, this four-year full-time degree includes a period studying in a European country, giving you the experience of life in another legal jurisdiction and the opportunity to build knowledge of law as it operates beyond the UK. You will engage with the leading law firms and legal practitioners that London offers, including contacts at major commercial firms and organisations working in social justice. A typical entry tariff of 168 points reflects the academic demands of legal study at a leading London law school. Graduates from English and European law programmes are well placed for careers in international commercial law firms, European institutions, international arbitration, corporate legal departments, and organisations working across multiple jurisdictions. Many complete the Solicitors Qualifying Exam and enter practice in commercial or international law contexts. The European dimension is particularly valued by firms with a significant continental practice. Postgraduate study in law, European law, or international legal practice is a natural continuation.
