Broaden your legal horizons by studying English and French law at world-class law schools in London and Paris.
Our double degree in English and French Law is run jointly with Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. This new integrated programme brings together expertise from two first-class law schools, giving you an impressive knowledge of the French and English legal systems and a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a bilingual legal culture.
Your first two years in London will cover the foundations of English legal knowledge - elements of contract law, land law, law in context, tort law, equity and trusts, criminal law, public law, and law of the EU. Your third and fourth years in Paris will cover French law, comparative law, international law and European law. Upon graduation you'll qualify to practice law in France, England and Wales.
If after your first or second year you wish to stay in London, you have the flexibility to transfer to our traditional Law LLB and complete your degree at Queen Mary.

Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for.
Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3.
Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/
If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
We will also consider applicants applying with the French Baccalaureate. Applicants are expected to be proficient in both English and French to apply to this programme. Applicants should be able to demonstrate at least B2 level in both French and English and offers may be subject to successful completion of an IELTS or DELF language tests.
