Law with French Law (LLB)

Hey,

I was just scanning through some fancy uni prosectus and saw these very very fancy degrees, so I was wondering for example, for KCL what would the french language requirement be if you wanted to study Law with French Law, I mean do you have to be some sort of genius in French? For example, for my A-level i should have about 85%, but I plan on resitting this one in order to bring it above 90. Any comments? anyone doing this degree? Do you think it's quite good (Bad?).

THaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks in advance

Hey, my friend has applied to do just that course at Manchester.
I'll get her to give u some info when she gets back from holiday.

Diamond.

(Oh yea, from what I remember she had to get an A at As level French to even get a look in, and she did, but as she was borderline she retook some modules. I think for most of them you need to have an A in French, as half the course is in the language. But she did have an advantage cos she did Portugese outside from school, and is supposed to be heading for an A in that too. I think the average grades required is AAB, and she did 4 A2's so shes not too bad I guess. But i'll still get her to help you).

Yes certainly the A-level of the relevent language has to be with a grade A. But how high A does it have to be? Obviously not all A-grade students are on the same level of competence. And did you have a conversation in French for your interview?

Thanks.

I'm going to be studying for the Double Maîtrise course at King's College, London starting this September. On the Open Day the prospective students for this course were told that indeed a high level of French is required - certainly A at A Level or equivalent, but most of the students on the course were by no means incredibly fluent, they just worked hard at the language side of the course as well as the Law. At KCL I think extra classes in French are offered to the English speaking students and all the French Law classes in London are taught in French. They also take into account everyone's different circumstances - say for example one student's mother is French whereas the next has never been to France before - obviously they would be expecting a higher degree of fluency from the first and would take everyone's individual circumstances into account.

I am good at French, I got an A in my Advanced Higher, but I am no means perfect. However, I'll be working my hardest to achieve the best possible French I can when I am in London and supplementing that with work experience in France and trips over there whenever I can. It's going to be a very difficult course to do - but well worth it - the consequences of completion of this course look very good indeed for the students.

I and legalbeagle (who is waiting on results at the moment, but I'm sure will achieve well!) and Liam52 on these boards should all be studying Law and French Law at KCL, the LSE and UCL respectively in the Autumn, so if you have any questions, just post and I'm sure someone will be able to answer.

Hi Ecossaise, And The Others,
First, I'd like to apologize for all the errors I will certainly do in english with my "post" !
Well, here I go ! I'm french, and I'm only 16 but I already know what I wanna do in the future ( which is not that far, so...), I'd really love to study English and French Law ! and guess what ! I found out something corresponding to my whiches: The "Double Maîtrise" in Cambridge ! You also must know in France we have 3 years at High School and I'm in my second year ( première de Lycée ), as an outcome I still have one more year at High School ( terminale de Lycée ) and at the end of this year I'm gonna take the french exam called BAC to go to university ! so I start to get infos about the "double maîtrise" ! How is it ? How do we get in there ? Where do we live during the 2 years in England ? Is there another University I could integrate to study English and French Law ? Could you tell me everything you know about this program or another one? Or, do you know someone that could help me ? Could you tell me if I will get any problem with my english by checkin' up my "post", please 'cuz it's really important too ?! I really wanna come to England (and maybe live there in the future) ! My fisrt target being going to Cambridge or somewhere else where I will be able to study English Law and I will work as hard as it's possible for it !
