Our joint LLB / Master 1 course provides a challenging bi-juridical and bilingual education that is respected and valued by a wide range of employers. Our prestigious course is the oldest and largest of its kind in Britain and France, leading to two separate degrees that form the first major step towards qualifying for practice in France, England and Wales, or both.
“Being a student on the double LLB is a very unique experience, as you get to study in two prestigious universities in Europe and obtain two distinct qualifications”
Our LLB law degree in London and the Master 1 en droit in Paris will provide a platform for a professional career in either the UK, France or both countries. Studying in France is a key part of this course and what makes our approach distinctive is the way our fully qualified French legal academics and practitioners train you in the French method of legal education while you are still in London. This means that you be able to make the most of your time in France. This is a four-year course. You will study for an LLB in English Law & French Law at King’s and a Master 1 degree of the University of Paris II. In lieu of the third year of the LLB (M100) degree course, you will study for two years in Paris. The third and fourth years of study provide 120 credits, taken equally from each year and treated in the same manner as the final year of your three-year LLB degree. The Anglo-French course can also be combined with the European Lawyer Programme after having completed the former, by adding one year at Humboldt University (LLM Europäisches Recht und Rechtsvergleich), the University of Rome La Sapienza (Laurea Magistrale), the University of Amsterdam (LLM International and European Law), the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (LLM), or the Universidade Catolica Portuguesa (LLM).
