Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
You'll study Scottish law alongside French, building from foundational legal principles to specialist areas over five years. A course like this typically begins with core subjects, Contract Law, Public Law and Criminal Law, which establish the principles of legal liability and constitutional order. In your second year, you'll usually progress to Tort Law, Land Law and EU or International Law, deepening your understanding of civil wrongs and how law operates beyond the UK. From year three onwards, a typical structure moves towards specialist options such as commercial law, human rights, criminal justice, family law and employment law, alongside independent legal research or supervised work in a law clinic. Throughout, your French studies run in parallel, developing language proficiency and cultural knowledge alongside your legal training.

This course suits those seeking a law degree combined with French language study, particularly if you're interested in pursuing solicitor qualification in Scotland. Most accepted students held A-levels or equivalent qualifications; the most common UCAS tariff band among entrants was more than 240 points.

International students
What applying to Strathclyde from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £25,150 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). 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
Strathclyde offers the Faculty of Engineering International Scholarship (15% reduction in tuition fees) for international students, see Scholarships above.
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 Strathclyde and gov.uk before you apply.
