Law - International Legal Studies: University of Southampton

Course overview

The Law (International Legal Studies) programme aims to provide a small number of Southampton LLB students with an opportunity to combine their UK undergraduate studies with a one year placement to study law in a jurisdiction outside of the European Union.

Students spend a full academic year (their 3rd year) at a designated university in a country outside of the European Union, studying aspects of the legal system and substantive law of that country. There is no language requirement as students attend universities in which English is the language of instruction.

This attractive opportunity for LLB students reflects not only the School of Law’s own international standing but also the diversity of jurisdictions in which graduates of English law may pursue their legal careers.

Therefore, participating students complete the LLB programme in 4 years, rather than the usual 3 and are awarded the degree of LLB (International Legal Studies) to highlight their international skills.
