During the year abroad, you receive support from the host University and Newcastle. The ELS stream is very successful. It offers exchange places with top ranking Law Schools.

Our partners teach in English, so you do not need foreign language skills to take part in the ELS. Many students try to improve their language skills during the year abroad.

Successful completion goes on your degree title: Law (European Legal Studies) LLB Honours. The experience lasts a lifetime.
