English and French Law

About this course

English and French law is a genuinely distinctive degree, immersing you in two legal traditions that are among the most influential in the world. English common law and the French civil law system, rooted in Roman law and the Napoleonic Code, represent different approaches to how law is made, interpreted, and applied, and understanding both in depth gives you a comparative perspective that very few lawyers possess. This double degree, run jointly with Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne University, draws on the expertise of two leading law schools in London and Paris and awards qualifications recognised in both countries. At Queen Mary University of London you will develop bilingual legal competence, working in both English and French and studying the core disciplines of each system: constitutional and administrative law, contract, tort, property, and more, approached through both the common law
