LLB Law With Welsh
About this course
Law with Welsh is a degree that takes seriously both the legal and linguistic heritage of Wales, combining a qualifying law degree with study of the Welsh language in a region where Welsh has legal and institutional significance. Welsh is an official language in Wales, with a growing body of legislation enacted in Welsh, a bilingual legal system, and a significant demand for Welsh-speaking legal professionals in public services, local government, and the legal professions. Studying Law with Welsh at Bangor University places you at the heart of Welsh-speaking Wales, where the language is a living part of everyday professional and community life. At Bangor University, this three-year full-time LLB includes a foundation year for students who benefit from additional preparation before engaging with the full law degree, alongside a sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placement opportunities, giving you a comprehensive range of professional and international experience. You will study the core foundations of English and Welsh law alongside Welsh language modules that develop your linguistic competence in professional and academic contexts. The combination is particularly valuable for students who want to work in Wales, where Welsh-speaking lawyers are sought after in the public sector, local government, and legal practice. Graduates who wish to enter legal practice will need to complete further professional training, but the LLB provides the qualifying academic foundation for that route. Many graduates enter legal practice in Wales, where Welsh language ability is a significant professional advantage. Others move into public administration, policy, education, broadcasting, and the voluntary sector, where the combination of legal knowledge and Welsh language competence is similarly valued. Postgraduate study in law or Welsh studies is also an option for those who want to deepen their expertise.
