Program Overview

Do you want to study law while immersing yourself in Spanish culture? Do you want to gain a global perspective on your studies and enhance your CV? Would you like to put your Spanish language skills to good use?

BA Law with Spanish and Spanish Law thoroughly covers the foundations of English law through core modules examining areas including tort, contract, trusts and criminal law. The course is run in partnership with the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures and you will also take core modules to develop your Spanish speaking and writing.

You will spend your third year studying in Spain at a partner law school in Málaga, Madrid or Barcelona, where you will study the Spanish legal system and develop advanced Spanish language skills, offering you a remarkable educational and cultural experience.

You will graduate with specialist knowledge and the transferable skills and confidence you need to stand out to employers as you start your career.

All our undergraduate law degrees allow exemption from the academic stage of qualification as a Barrister. Graduates wishing to qualify as barristers may proceed directly to the vocational stage of legal training - the Bar Training Course.

Students who begin their course in 2022, or thereafter, and who wish to become a solicitor must undertake the Solicitors Qualifying Examination.

There are no exemptions conferred on students who have an undergraduate law degree. A number of institutions offer courses preparing students to pass the SQE. Some of these institutions guarantee a place for Nottingham graduates with at least a 2:2 degree.
