Course essentials

You will study Years 1 and 2 at King’s College London and Years 3 and 4 at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. During the first term at King’s, you will be provided with information about how to complete enrolment at the partner university.

Studying in Spain is a key part of the programme, and our Spanish-trained legal academics prepare you in the Spanish method of legal education while you are still in London, enabling you to make the most of your time in Barcelona.

Your studies in Barcelona will contribute 120 credits towards the award of the King’s LLB English Law & Spanish Law. You will also receive a Grado en Derecho from Universitat Pompeu Fabra.

International students are eligible for a UK Student visa for the first two years of study at King’s only. International students studying on this programme are not eligible to apply for the UK Graduate visa. All students are reminded that it is their responsibility to make the necessary visa arrangements for study both at King’s and at the partner university.
