It offers a solid grounding in key concepts associated with law and in the use of Spanish. With this diploma, you’ll raise your legal awareness and acquire skills of legal analysis and methods. The study of Spanish opens doors to other cultures and communities, and can provide a key to the global workplace.

The law modules in this qualification cover the legal system in England and Wales only, not any other parts of the UK.

**Key features of the course**

Modules

This diploma has two stages, in which your study will be divided equally between law and Spanish.
In Stage 1, you’ll study an introductory law module and two language modules.
Next, in Stage 2, you’ll study two 30-credit law modules and a 60-credit language module in your chosen language..
