Willkommen! Love nice cars, beer and sausages? How about edgy, urban, all weekend raves? Or are you just super-efficient and need to return to your natural homeland?

If you’re nodding your head and haven't considered it, then LLB (Law) with German might just be for you. But the chances are, if you’re on this page then you’re probably already considering it. In order to study this course you will need to have completed an A level in German.

What is the advantage of an LLB with German?

British membership of the EU, particularly the interaction of the English legal system with EU law, is an ever-contentious issue. Therefore, having a deep understanding of another European country’s culture and legal system is a great asset both academically and professionally, and prepares you for international business.

At the end of the four years you will qualify with both a law degree and a joint honours in German. After studying many of your modules in German and spending a year living it up in Germany (#unay) you will be fluent in the German language. This makes you invaluable to international firms who may have offices and clients in Germany, and extremely employable. You'll have an edge on other candidates when applying for a training contract.

Typically an LLB with German will involve:

- Four years full-time study
- Including a year studying abroad at a German university
- All units necessary to qualify for an LLB
- Units in German law, language, literature and history

Some of the courses which provide the LLB with German are called 'LLB (Law) with German Law'. Despite this title, it is highley unlikely that you will qualify in German law unless it is explicitly stated because this would take a far longer period of study. These courses which mention German law in the titles just have a far larger emphasis on learning about German law and the legal system, and less on German culture (such as the literature and history).

So if you want to study law, love German culture and speak a little German, why not take a look at the LLB and German courses on offer?
