This challenging and competitive course gives students the rewarding intellectual experience of discovering the richness of both the French and English legal cultures. Essex is one of only a few universities in the UK which put students on the right path to qualify for legal practice in both the UK and France. The first two years on their prestigious LLB English and French Law course are spent at Essex, where students take the required modules in English Law, meeting the requirements for the academic stages of training to become a solicitor or barrister in the UK. Students also take French law in both years, which is taught in French.

For instance, they address the rights of consumers, family members, prisoners, householders, workers and children. They'll also cover topics including, but not limited to: The functions of the three branches of government (executive, legislative and judicial) UK and French constitutional law Law of trusts Principles of negligence Criminal liability In the third year, students study at a partner institution in France, where they follow modules in French law to obtain the Licence en Droit.
