The BA in Law with Law Studies in Europe (technically
'Bachelor of Arts in the Final Honour School of Jurisprudence: Law with Law
Studies in Europe') is an extended version of our BA Law programme including
an extra year spent at one of our partner universities in continental Europe.
Our partner universities for the purpose of this programme are currently
Paris II (Panthéon-Assas), Bonn, Konstanz, Munich, Regensburg,
Siena, Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) and Leiden.
You
should begin by reading about our
regular three-year BA in Law .
During the first two years, students on the Law with Law Studies
in Europe programme follow the same courses as those on the
regular BA Law programme, with the addition of some classes preparing
them for the year abroad. The year abroad is the third year.
Students then return to Oxford to rejoin the final year of the regular
BA Law programme. To be awarded the Law with Law Studies in Europe degree
students have to pass their year abroad (assessed locally). However
the degree is classified
on the basis of the Oxford final examinations only.
During
the year abroad students on the Law with Law Studies in Europe
programme study the law, not the language,
of the country they are in. However
these legal studies are in the local language, so advanced competence
in that language is required. This is tested as part of the admissions process. (The
exception is Leiden in the Netherlands where the teaching is in
English and the subject of study is not mainly the local legal system
but the law of the European Communities and international
law.)
Like our regular BA in Law, the BA in Law with Law Studies in Europe
is a 'qualifying
law degree' for the purpose of practice as a solicitor or barrister
in England and Wales, but it does not provide any qualification for
legal practice in the other European countries concerned.

More
about 'qualifying law degrees' and the path to legal practice:
practice at the Bar; practice
as a Solicitor. Remember that, although
it is a qualifying law degree, our BA is a programme of
academic study, not a vocational training. We do not assume that
our students will be legal practitioners and about a third of them
will not be.
