Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s). Studying with us will give you the chance to become a fluent linguist and, with our year abroad programme, an opportunity to experience living, working and/or studying in another country. There are a number of ways you can study Law at Strathclyde, one such way being the BA degree in combination with another subject. Please note that studying Law within the BA degree will not qualify you for entry to the legal profession. For professional qualifications in Law students follow the LLB programme. Law is concerned with the study of the obligations, duties and rights which every member of society has in relation to one another and to the State. The study of Law is regarded not as purely vocational, but part of a broader education. In every year, teaching focuses heavily on language work, but you'll also discover more about the culture of France and French-speaking countries.
