Law (European), University of Exeter

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 University of Rennes I and follow one of the Maîtrise de Droit 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 (University of Rennes I) 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 practise as a lawyer in France or Germany.

You must be competent in French or German as the modules in French or German law (at Exeter) will be taught in that language. Both linguistic and academic competence will be assessed during the interview which forms part of the application process.
