Law with Hispanic Law - LLB (Hons)

University of Leeds

This degree allows you to learn about how and why law is created and changed, and how it operates as a social institution. You will gain expertise in analysis, research, logical argument and more, as you develop an understanding of key topics within the legal sector. At the same time, you will develop your Spanish language skills and – through a third year studying law in Spain or a Spanish-speaking Latin American country – learn about a legal system that is very different to that of England and Wales.  Through core and optional legal modules, you will examine the broader context of the law and its relationship with society. You can develop your interests in specialist legal areas including company law, employment law, human rights law, environmental law and family law. You could also explore topics in criminal justice and criminology, such as policing or youth crime.   Throughout the course you will gain diverse skills that will be valuable to you as a global citizen, as well as in your professional career – whether you choose to enter the legal profession or not.   The School has four world-leading research centres specialising in Business Law, Criminal Justice, Legal Education and Social Justice, with staff from those Centres teaching across a range of Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes. You’ll have the opportunity to be taught by some of those staff and will also have the opportunity to apply to explore the practical application of law through our award-winning Community Engagement (pro bono) opportunities.
