Course summary
Legal practice increasingly takes place on a global stage and multilingual legal experts are in high demand. By choosing to study LLB Law and Modern Languages at Aberystwyth University, you will not only gain competency in law, but also a high level of fluency in your chosen language.
You will study the core elements of legal practice together with law in a broader context, including its relationship with society.
At the same time, you will study a language and learn how to use it in a formal, legal setting - choose from French, German, Spanish and Italian. Your year abroad will be spent in a country related to your chosen language. You can choose to study at one of our partnered universities, undertake a paid or unpaid work placement, or a combination of the two.
This 21st century LLB Law and Modern Languages degree is an excellent combination that will open up a wide range of opportunities for you in the future.
On the Law elements of the degree, you will study practical modules designed to meet employer needs and will be taught by experienced legal professionals and academics who are active for large organisations such as GRETA, the Youth Justice Board, and the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Our modules encompass a range of traditional and contemporary legal subjects and you will gain the skills and competencies that will enhance your employability in a legal context. You will be able to take advantage of excellent social and professional opportunities such as visits to Law Fairs and the Inns of Court in London, and you will have the opportunity to enhance your studies by participating in our Mooting Society to develop your key advocacy and litigation skills.
