We currently have partners in Athens, Bergen, Bologna, Fribourg, Granada, Leuven, Lyon, Malta, Oslo, Paris, Stockholm and Vienna. As well as gaining valuable insights into a different legal system, you'll develop the confidence and independence that comes from living in another country.
You’ll return to Southampton for your final year, during which you'll take a number of optional modules and complete your dissertation. Our unique employability skills programme will ensure you consolidate what you learn through exceptional work experience and networking opportunities.
As part of your degree, you can experience law in action by:
- applying to shadow a senior member of the judiciary in the High Court or Court of Appeal. * working alongside legal professionals to advise students at the Law Clinic in housing, business and family law.
- engaging with our academic research groups including the Stefan Cross Centre for Women, Equality and Law, and the Institute of Maritime Law.
- honing your presentation skills on the Streetlaw programme and take part in a range of competitions to enhance your skills, including the Womble Bond Dickinson Team Building Challenge and regional, national and international mooting and negotiation competitions.
- and studying modules outside of law you can broaden your knowledge with interdisciplinary study.
You can forge even stronger links within our friendly community by joining a student-run society such as the Law Society, Inns of Court Society, Mooting Society, Lawyers without Borders and the Canadian Law Society.
