Double Bachelor's Degree : Bachelor of Laws (KCL) + Bachelor Degree in Law (UPF)

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Pompeu Fabra University

Program Overview

If you’re aiming for an international legal career, this dual degree gives you an incredible head start. You’ll study two legal systems side by side — British and Spanish — building a strong global legal foundation that’s perfect for students who want to work across countries, institutions, and legal frameworks.


Curriculum Structure

Years 1 & 2 — Foundations in English Law (London Experience)

You begin your journey with the core pillars of English law. Through subjects such as Public Law, Criminal Law, and Contract Law, you learn how legal systems operate, how rights are protected, and how legal agreements are formed and enforced. These years sharpen your analytical thinking and introduce you to case-based legal reasoning used in common law systems.

Year 3 — Transition to Spanish & European Legal Systems

Moving into a new legal environment, you explore how continental legal systems function. Courses like Constitutional Law, Civil Law, and Administrative Law help you understand how institutions operate, how citizens’ rights are structured, and how public authority is regulated within Spain and the European framework.

Year 4 — Advanced Legal Integration & Professional Preparation

In your final year, you connect both legal traditions and prepare for professional practice. Modules such as Commercial Law, European Union Law, and Procedural Law strengthen your ability to work with cross-border regulations, business law environments, and court procedures. You’ll also complete a final project that brings together your international legal knowledge and research skills.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

At Pompeu Fabra University, learning law is a hands-on experience that goes well beyond classroom lectures. As part of this dual degree, you’ll develop real legal skills by working with case materials, analysing legislation, and understanding how legal systems operate in practice across different countries. The university environment encourages active participation, critical debate, teamwork, and independent research, all supported by modern academic facilities and a professional study setting:

Here’s how practical learning becomes part of your journey:

  • Case-based legal training — Many courses are built around real judicial decisions and legal scenarios, helping you practise legal reasoning, argument development, and application of legislation.

  • Collaborative academic work — Group discussions, team projects, and structured debates are regularly used to simulate professional legal environments and strengthen teamwork skills.

  • Supervised research projects — Guided coursework and the final project allow you to investigate real legal questions, building strong research, analytical, and professional writing abilities.

  • Research-active academic environment — Opportunities to engage with university departments and institutes connected to legal studies, public law, and international legal research.

Because you’re trained across two countries and legal traditions, employers see you as a versatile professional ready for cross-border legal work:

  • Career guidance and employability support — The university’s career services team helps you plan your professional path through mentoring, career workshops, and opportunities to connect with employers and institutions.
