Within a dynamic and changing European context, knowledge of another European national legal system and its law is a valuable asset, both academically and professionally. This four-year programme includes a year at the Universität zu Köln or Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany and leads to the award of a Bachelor of Laws degree from UCL.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

We start the first two weeks of the first academic year with a two-week induction programme: Laws' Connections: Legal Doctrine and Contemporary Challenges.  Laws' Connections is designed to be an inspiring introduction to the study of law here at UCL Laws, and to the role of law in addressing social challenges.

The first two years of study are similar to three-year LLB degree: four compulsory modules are studied in each year.

Students on the programme are also required to undertake a European Legal Studies (German) module (taught in German) in both years one & two at UCL.

In Year 1, the module introduces the German legal system/methodology, and core concepts of Constitutional Law.  In Year 2, topics include German Contract law and the Law of Obligations.

The third year of study is spent abroad at a host partner university in Germany. The typical course of study for a certificate in German law comprises three full-year courses or six one-semester courses in Civil/Private Law, Public Law, and other optional modules in German Law.

In the Final Year you will return to UCL and will choose 120 credits from a list of optional modules. One of them could be a research essay on a legal subject of your choice, subject to approval by the department. Subject to availability and approval, it may also be possible to take up to 30 credits from modules outside of Laws in place of a Laws module.

The department does not offer language tuition. Throughout the programme, students will be responsible for maintaining, or, if necessary, improving their linguistic ability in German to meet the academic demands of the degree.

Students enrolled on this programme will only be permitted to transfer to the three-year LLB degree in exceptional circumstances.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a LLB (Hons) in Law with German Law.
