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 Columbia Law School for two years there, the first of which shall, if successfully completed based on the requirements of both LSE and Columbia 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 Columbia but not in their second year, during which they are registered at Columbia Law School only.
Please note: eligibility is subject to the criteria of Columbia Law
School, which may evolve over time. 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.
