It's really a dual legal qualification
in that sense that the students will graduate in the UK with the LLB
of the University of Exeter, and in France at Master level
with the Master 1 of the University of Rennes.
So in Exeter, alongside English Law in English,
French Law is taught in French, and so it's French Constitutional Law, French ...
French Law of Contracts, and lectures, tutorials all taught in French.
Students will study English Law in English
as well as French Law in French in small groups, and the maximum is
twenty/twenty-five students per year.
Lawyers need to understand the power of interpretation, of argumentation
and to study at the same time, two
different legal systems belonging to two different legal traditions;
belonging to two different university systems is very...
is very positive and also
from a psychological point of view, the
students demonstrate that they're very very adaptable.
They need French at A levels or equivalent, like the Baccalaureate
European or International. They don't need to be bilingual, obviously if they are bilingual
it's absolutely fine and they'll do very well, but they don't need to be
in order to succeed in this course.
The extracurricular activities are quite numerous on the campus, among them
pro bono work, the mooting competitions,
the LLP European students have created their own society which is very very active
and which gives a lot of support
in order to study English and French law at the same time.
The year abroad
is the fundamental part of the dual qualification process.
The Exeter students reach the French university system
directly at Masters level
and within one year they've got the full benefit of a
full French Masters, which is the whole point of the
dual qualification, to graduate at the same time in
the UK and in France, with the two national legal qualifications.
The employability of an Exeter student is extremely high, especially for the dual qualification programmes.
They're very attractive to
the magic circle law firms and they get a very good training ...
magic circle law firms. They can decide to remain in
in the French university system at Master 2 level in order to improve their
French qualifications, or they can decide to go into study in Europe.
I mean, all the door's are open
and they really maximise their chances in relation to employability.
You learn not only two specific
(jurisdiction) jurisdictions in terms of the law,
but it also means that you understand... you have an understanding of Common Law
and you have an understanding of Civil Law.
And i think it's the... in terms of your employability after university
I think that as the world becomes smaller
those are the kinds of understandings that
that firms are going to be looking for, for you to be a bit more global
and to have that kind of reach.
