Law with French Language

Law with French language is a combination that prepares you for legal practice in an international context, pairing rigorous legal training with advanced proficiency in one of the world's most widely used professional languages. Law examines the principles, institutions and processes through which societies regulate behaviour, drawing on both the study of legal doctrine and broader questions of jurisprudence and legal theory. French opens access not only to French domestic law but also to the considerable body of international and European legal work conducted in French, and to the diversity of legal systems in the Francophone world.

At the University of Glasgow, which offers Scottish law teaching within a strong research university, this four-year full-time programme develops your legal knowledge alongside advanced French language skills. You will study Scots law, public law, constitutional law and private law alongside French language tuition and engagement with French legal culture, literature and contemporary society. Glasgow's position as one of Scotland's two major law schools, combined with its strong language teaching provision, provides a rigorous and supportive environment for this combined degree.

Graduates are well placed for careers in legal practice in Scotland, following the completion of professional legal training, as well as in international law, European institutions, commercial law with French-speaking clients, translation and legal interpretation, diplomacy and international business. The combination of Scottish law training and French language proficiency is distinctive and particularly valuable for those who wish to work in cross-border commercial practice, human rights, international organisations or Francophone jurisdictions. Postgraduate study in law, European law, international law or legal translation is a natural progression for many graduates.
