Strand Campus
Strand Campus feels like the heart of London—historic yet buzzing with energy. Nestled by the Thames, it offers world-class academics, vibrant student life, and endless inspiration from the city’s culture and diversity.
Overview
The joint LLB and Master 1 course provides a challenging bi-juridical and bilingual education that is respected and valued by a wide range of employers.
The 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 or England and Wales, or both.
International students are normally eligible for a UK Student visa for the first two years of study only, i.e. for the UK-based study period only. Students are not eligible for the UK Graduate visa. International students are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure that their study programme meets their visa requirements both during and after the programme.

Course essentials
The LLB law degree in London and the Master 1 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 will 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 (Panthéon-Assas). Instead of the third year of the LLB (M100) degree course, you will study for two years in Paris. The third and fourth year of study provide 120 credits which will count towards your LLB degree from King’s.
The course is compatible with the European Lawyer Programme.
