UCAS code: M122

Here's what King's College London says about its English Law and German Law course.

Our dual degree English Law & German Law programme provides a challenging bi-juridical and bilingual education that is respected and valued by a wide range of employers.

Our course is equally suitable as a platform for students who want to practice in England and Wales but wish to obtain an in-depth knowledge of German law or those who intend to practice in Germany, or both.

They are also eligible for the UK Graduate visa (subject to UK immigration rule changes).

First State Exam pathway students are not eligible for the UK Graduate visa.
