Overview Why Study Your Pathway Discover University

Degree Overview

At Kent Law School our International Legal Studies course gives valuable added depth and a global dimension to your degree, as well as offering an unforgettable experience in another country, without any requirement to learn another language. If you want to start a successful legal career in the UK and globally, our International Legal Studies course is the first step to wherever you want to go.

You spend a year abroad between Stages 2 and 3 at one of our partner universities, where you are taught in English. Our current destination list includes Australia, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Japan, and many more.

This degree will help you prepare for a career in law as a solicitor or barrister. All of our undergraduate Law degrees contain the foundations of legal knowledge required by the Bar Standards Board to satisfy the academic component of professional training for intending barristers, and provide a strong foundation for students who wish to take the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE).
