Location

Exeter (Streatham Campus)

During these programmes, you will spend your first three years in Exeter studying (in English) the necessary foundation subjects for the LLB. At the same time, modules in French/German law are studied with lectures given and essays written in the appropriate language.

In your fourth year you will study either at the University of Rennes and follow one of the Maîtrise en Droit (Master I) programmes or at the University of the Saarlandes/Saarbrücken and follow the Magister programme. On successful completion you will obtain the dual qualification of LLB (European) (University of Exeter) and Maîtrise en Droit (Master I) (University of Rennes) or Magister (University of the Saarlandes/Saarbrücken).

In addition to being exempt from the academic stages of professional training in the UK, graduates will have the necessary knowledge for passing the aptitude test which enables lawyers from EU member states to practice as a lawyer in France and Germany.

You must be competent in French or German as the modules in French or German Law (in Exeter) will be taught in that language. The lecturers at Exeter in French and German Law are highly qualified French and German lawyers who offer tuition in small groups. 

All our undergraduate degree programmes are accredited by the Law Society and have a series of compulsory modules which give you exemption from the academic stage of professional training. On graduation you can proceed to the Solicitors’ Legal Practice Course or Bar Professional Training Course.
