Aim
This programme aims to provide a sound basis in legal principles, whilst allowing students to familiarise themselves with a variety of international legal systems. This is particularly useful for those students who may want to practice law, or pursue other related careers, in their home countries.
“This programme features options in the third year which is truly international in their scope. They give you the opportunity to study a variety of legal systems – which is a great advantage if you hope to practise law in your home country.”
