Currently, we partner with institutions in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain.* To find out more about studying abroad, visit the Centre for Study Abroad.

A broader cultural experience, living in another country and an understanding of how different legal traditions operate will see you graduate with a valuable skill set ideally tailored to the globalised workplace and sought after by leading employers.

Choosing LLB Law with Study in Continental Europe at Bristol will enable you to progress onto the Bar Practice Course or prepare, in part, for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), helping you to develop core legal skills and understanding of the seven foundations of legal knowledge.
