Why study this course with us?
  • We strive to provide you with a welcoming, open and supportive environment for you to undertake your study. As the BA Combined degree is free from professional regulations, you are able to have much greater freedom in the modules you study in you second and third years. It may therefore be possible to tailor your studies to compliment your other subject.
  • Efforts are made to enhance your experience by developing and using links with the local legal professions. We are assisted in this to a certain extent, as Chester has been a legal centre since the Middle Ages.
  • During the Law and French course offered by the University of Chester, you will have the opportunity to undertake a short placement at the end of Year 2 (Level 5). Most students also spend an academic year in a French-speaking country. This allows you to split your experience of residence abroad, offering you the chance to spend time on different types of placement and in different countries.
  • In your first year you will have the opportunity to study a further language from scratch.
  • Job prospects

A degree in French develops an impressive range of skills including strong communication and presentation skills, the ability to work autonomously and in groups, analytical and critical discernment and the resilience and confidence developed during placements abroad. Graduates often pursue further study or careers in professional translation, teaching, business, hospitality and in international organisations.
