International

The Law School at the University of Westminster is proud of its international links and has strong ties in Europe and North America with other educational institutions.

The Law course with French offer students a fantastic opportunity to experience the legal profession in another country while the University’s link with Canada has opened the door for many international colleagues to move to the UK, gain knowledge and an understanding of another way of life.

Studying in France

LLB Honours Law with French gives students the opportunity to spend a year studying law in France, gaining invaluable experience of another legal culture while acquiring knowledge of its language and legal system. This course is a Qualifying Law Degree and graduates who wish to become barristers or solicitors are granted exemptions by the professional bodies concerned.

Grants

Home students on their year abroad retain the same eligibility for a student grant as before they go abroad and after they come back. In addition, EU nationals are eligible to receive a Socrates/Erasmus grant, which helps with the extra costs arising from living and studying abroad. Note, though, that this is not automatically awarded and does not cover all normal student living expenses. Some host Universities offer additional language tuition. Fees for these classes can be covered by a special SOCRATES/ERASMUS grant.

Canadian students

The University of Westminster’s School of Law has a long history of welcoming students from Canada to study with us in central London.

Applications from Canadian students are welcome to undertake both undergraduate (LLB) and postgraduate (LLM) programmes.

There are currently more than 70 students from Canada studying at the School of Law. All students completing the LLB with a good second class honours degree are guaranteed progression to any LLM programme at the University of Westminster.
