Law OR Law + language?!
11
I was wondering whether to take just Law or Law + French at university. Which degree is better for employment - I want to take a law degree but not necessarily become a lawyer.
I am taking French, English lit and Maths at A-level + an EPQ. Do you think employers prefer just a law degree or should I do Law and French Law, since I am interested in French and I want to study abroad for a year.

Hi,
Both degrees can open excellent employment opportunities, but the choice depends on your interests and career aspirations. A straight Law degree offers flexibility and is widely recognized for roles beyond law, such as in business, policy, or consulting. However, a Law with French Law degree adds a unique international perspective, language skills, and the advantage of a year abroad, which many employers value highly in global industries. If you’re passionate about French and interested in studying abroad, the combined degree might better align with your goals, especially as employers often appreciate language proficiency and cultural adaptability.

Thank you. I have heard that employers prefer just a law degree as it covers more content. Is this true? I would like to do Law and French Law as I feel like it is more relevant if I want to follow a career in a global industry, however I am also interested in a career in business (in law)… will a ‘Law and French degree’ be as useful for this, instead of just a law degree?
