Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
You'll study English law alongside French law, developing both a grounding in core legal disciplines and specialist knowledge that spans two legal systems. A course like this typically begins with foundations, Contract Law, Public Law and Criminal Law, before moving into Tort Law, Land Law and comparative study of European and international frameworks. In years 3 and 4, you'll pursue specialist options such as Commercial law, Human rights, Criminal justice, Family law and Employment law, alongside independent legal research or supervised practical work. The inclusion of French legal perspectives enriches your understanding of legal principles beyond the English system.
Who it's for
This course suits students with strong A-level qualifications or equivalent. Most accepted entrants held A-levels or equivalent, and the typical UCAS tariff band among accepted students was 176–191 points. You should be interested in law as a discipline and prepared for a demanding, research-informed curriculum at a research-intensive institution. The French Law specialism appeals to those considering international legal practice or comparative legal study.

International students
What applying to UCL from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by UCL; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check UCL’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with UCL and gov.uk before you apply.
