Introduction

Objectives

This dual programme offered by the European School of Law Toulouse is designed to provide students with practical knowledge of both the French and English legal systems, as well as a comparative perspective.

Students will study the fundamentals of Common law and French law. As a result, students are able to gain a good understanding of the differences and similarities between the French and English systems.

This dual competence, fluency in two specialist languages and experience of student mobility are undeniable assets for lawyers wishing to work internationally.

Specificities

The double degree programme starts at the University of Toulouse Capitole for the first two years of the degree and continues at Bangor University for the validation of the LLB and the 3rd year of the degree.

At the end of the three-year programme, students will be awarded an LLB in English Law and French Law.

Please see the Admissions tab for information on tuition fees.

INFORMATION ON TUITION FEES

Students pay tuition fees to the University of Toulouse Capitole in their 1st and 2nd years and to Bangor University in their 3rd year. Fees at Bangor University are set by Bangor University (more information on this page: https://www.bangor.ac.uk/student-administration/fees/). However, Bangor University offers an annual scholarship to UT Capitole double degree students. The fee is approximately £11,000 for UT Capitole students eligible for home fees. The new fees apply to students selected from 2022 who will be studying in Bangor from September 2024.

Please note: Students who are classed as 'international' are not eligible for the 'home fee' rate. Criteria such as place of residence - and not just nationality - are also taken into account when determining 'international' student status. For example, if a student has lived outside the European Union before arriving in Toulouse, they may not be eligible for this preferential rate. Please take the time to check all the conditions that need to be met to ensure that you are eligible for Home Fees.
