Bachelor of Law (Hons) in Law with International Relations University of East London - University Square Stratford (USS) Campus, UK

Add an international dimension on your legal studies with this challenging and interesting combination. As a qualifying law degree, you will still be exempt from the academic stage of qualifying as  a barrister.
The law doesn't operate in isolation, and in this course you'll gain valuable insights into the global political context as well as the social and cultural aspects of how the legal system functions.
A large part of the course focuses on law; so you will learn how law is made and administered, gain an understanding of the  English legal system and study key aspects of civil and criminal law.
For the international relations part of the course, you will be given an introduction to the subject in your first year. You'll then take one international relations module in each of your second and third years. As this is a joint degree, and you have core courses; there will not be any options.
