Overview
Entry Requirements, Fees and Dates
Schedule

A BGlobalSt/LLB(Hons) conjoint allows you to complete a BGlobalSt and an LLB(Hons) in less time than it would take to complete the two degrees separately.

Our interdisciplinary Global Studies programme will expose you to new ways of thinking about the world, develop your competence in another language, and grow your understanding of other cultures and perspectives.

Students who have gained a B+ average or higher across all their Law courses at the completion of LLB Part II will be invited to transfer to the LLB(Hons) programme.

A BGlobalSt/LLB(Hons) prepares you for a range of exciting careers. You might go on to work in international law, politics and government, the environmental sector, international development, foreign affairs, trade or the creative industries. As part of the Global Studies programme, you will have many opportunities to develop practical employment skills and on-the-job experience through internships, workshops and research projects.
