Double Degree Programme:
Columbia Law School
The programme is open to LLB students at LSE who are in their second year of study and it is during their second year that students apply to participate in the programme. LSE students spend their first two years at LSE, during which they must complete the Law Society/ Bar Council core or 'foundation' subjects if they intend to secure a 'qualifying' degree for professional exemption purposes in England and Wales. If admitted to the double degree programme, LSE students then transfer to the Receiving Law School for two years there, the first of which shall, if successfully completed based on the requirements of both LSE and the Receiving Law School, satisfy the requirements of their third year at LSE. For administrative purposes, students remain registered at LSE as LLB students in their first year of study at the Receiving Law School but not in their second year, during which they are registered at the Receiving Law School only.
Please note: eligibility is subject to the criteria of the
Receiving Law School, which may evolve over time and differ between law schools.
We do not recommend applying to LSE solely with the intention of applying to the
double degree programme as we are unable to guarantee you will be admitted.
