Course summary

Looking to study law while immersing yourself in Spanish culture? Want to gain a global perspective on your studies and enhance your CV? Our BA Law with Spanish and Spanish Law provides this opportunity, while thoroughly covering foundations of English Law.

The degree covers core modules examining areas such as tort, contract, trusts and criminal law. The course is run in partnership with the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures, and you will also take core modules to develop your Spanish speaking and writing.

In your third year, you will have the opportunity to study in Spain at a current partner law school, where you will study the Spanish legal system and develop advanced Spanish language skills. This unique experience will not only enhance your education but also offer you a remarkable cultural experience.

Our programme opens doors to a wide variety of professions and organisations, including law firms, barristers’ chambers, consultancies, business advisory services, marketing, civil service, public relations, accountancy, and campaigning. For example, recent graduates have secured positions at Clifford Chance, the Barristers’ Chambers 7 King’s Bench Walk, the London Stock Exchange, PwC and BAE Systems.

At our School of Law, we pride ourselves on providing not just academic excellence, but also a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Our law societies cater to a wide range of interests, from pro bono volunteering to placements, offering you the chance to make an impact and build your network.

Modules

In year one, you will take core modules in legal theory, contracts, and public law, as well as modules to develop your Spanish speaking and writing.

In year two, you will take further core modules covering criminal law, foundations of tort, and land ownership. You will also build on your language skills and compare legal systems as practised in Europe.

In your third year you will attend one of our partner institutions in either Madrid, Málaga or Barcelona. Teaching will be in Spanish.

In year four, you will take the final core modules in the Law of Trusts, the Law of the European Union and core and optional language modules.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

We consider applicants solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential – we use exam grades to prioritise applicants but look at a range of factors and aim to give everyone an equal opportunity to show their achievements.

We understand that background and personal circumstances can have an impact on academic performance at school or college. Applicants who are eligible under our contextual admissions policies may be considered for a reduced contextual offer.
