Diploma of Higher Education in Law and Languages

Course code: W87

Combining law with French, German or Spanish is both stimulating and a smart career move. You’ll divide your study equally between both subjects. It offers a solid grounding in key concepts associated with law and in the use of your chosen language. With this diploma, you’ll raise your legal awareness and acquire skills in legal analysis and methods. The study of a modern language opens doors to other cultures and communities and can provide a key to the global workplace. The name of your diploma will reflect your chosen language (e.g. Diploma of Higher Education in Law and German).

The law modules in this qualification cover the legal system in England and Wales only, not any other parts of the UK.
