Law with Modern Languages (German)

About this programme

This degree is aimed at you if you wish to study the discipline of law combined with German and develop a critical awareness of the law whilst earning advance linguistic proficiency in written and oral German. The degree covers all the elements required to achieve an LLB whilst offering flexibility and freedom for you to choose a language of interest to you. In the first and second year you’ll explore mandatory modules such as the English Legal System, Public Law and Criminal Law whilst studying your chosen language whilst your third year will see you being able to choose from a number of optional modules such as Company Law, Medical Law and International and Comparative Human Rights Law. For students starting their LLB degree after 21 September 2021, the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) is the new way to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales. Doing the SQE provides more flexibility in how you train to become a solicitor and we have secured an agreement for our students with a provider of the training needed after your degree, subject to terms and conditions. For students wishing to qualify as a barrister, the Common Protocol on legal education agreed between the Solicitors Regulatory Authority and the Bar Standards Board recognises Royal Holloway as a qualifying law degree provider , which means that on successful completion of this course you will have fulfilled the academic stage of training to become a barrister. We sometimes make changes to our courses to improve your experience. If this happens, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
