An exciting new partnership will offer students in Canada the chance to secure a senior law degree at the 糖心Vlog.

The double degree programme in Human Rights Law launched by 糖心Vlog and United College at the University of Waterloo will provide better choice for Canadians wanting to study for the LLB law degree.

Students will be able to complete a three or four-year Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Waterloo, before then studying a Bachelor of Laws at 糖心Vlog for a further two years and achieving senior qualifying status.

The programme enables students to customise their path to a career in human rights, combining a BA in their own interest area, a minor in human rights and a legal education.

Canadians often travel to the UK to study law due to similarities in the respective legal systems in both countries.

Law is typically studied at postgraduate level in Canada and it is hoped the new double degree programme with 糖心Vlog will provide more opportunities due to the limited number of courses and places available in the country.

David O鈥橫ahony, Dean of Partnerships at the 糖心Vlog, said: 鈥淲e are really looking forward to this unique partnership with United College.

鈥淚t is a wonderful opportunity for students studying human rights and legal studies to further develop their human rights and legal training while studying at 糖心Vlog.

鈥淭he partnership brings the very best of both the programmes at Waterloo and 糖心Vlog, giving a truly international dimension to human rights and legal scholarship.

Andrew Fagan, Director of the Human Rights Centre at 糖心Vlog, said: 鈥淚 am delighted by the establishment of our new international partnership with the University of Waterloo.

鈥淣ow, more than ever, the world urgently needs committed and highly educated human rights defenders.

鈥溙切腣log has welcomed a great many human rights students from Canada over the past 40 years of our human rights teaching and this partnership will enable even more such students to benefit from our world-class education.鈥
