Studying Law
Studying in Sweden on Scholarship !
By Emmanuel Ayomide-Praise
Few students live a life of luxury. To help you manage financially, a number of scholarships are available to you.
The Swedish Institute, a government agency, administers over 500 scholarships each year for students and researchers coming to Sweden to pursue their objectives at a Swedish university.
The number of available scholarships varies from year to year, and competition is keen. Most foreign students in Sweden finance their stay without help from scholarships.
Swedish Institute scholarships for students applying to English-language programs in Sweden are mainly for master

When I was in law school, criminal law was a required first year, second semester course. It was the easiest course I took.
I am wondering if you are speaking of the US?

Studying law?
if you choose to study law in one country, does it tie you down to also practicing in that country, or can you move from country to country? How difficult is it to move? i presume you have to sit exams for that country etc…

When do you need to start studying Law to get a degree?
Do you need to start studying law in College/Sixth Form or at a University? as i want to study law to work within the police force. But i cant seem to find any colleges/sixth forms that allow you to study it in the UK. so can i leave it until university?
Thanks.

You need a 4 year degree from an accredited college or university before any law school would accept you.
Your undergraduate degree doesn’t matter too much. Law school is 3 years full time.

How do you go about studying law? Can you go staright to law school after you finish your GED at a community college or do you need to get a bachelor’s degree first? give me some details please.

How would I go about studying law in France after graduating from the US?
I want to apply to law schools in France and move to there after graduating from a 4 year accredited university in the US. Before I contact the French Embassy about visa information and all of that, I want to know if I am on the right track. I am currently studying Int’l Relations, but I always planned on going to law school. What is the application process and to where should I apply?

A lot of it depends on which country you study in and which state you move to. You will certainly have to pass the bar exams — but law students from US schools have to pass those exams as well.
US law takes its basis in British Common Law — except for Louisiana state law — which has its roots in the Napoleonic Code. Other countries use very different legal systems.
I know people in New York who studied law in the UK and were able to take the NY Bar exam without having to go to law school in the US.
In addition, there are at least three states in the US — Virginia, California and Maine — where you do not have to go to law school to practice law. If you pass the bar exam in those states, you can practice law. Of course, those states have the toughest exams, for this reason. It is hard to pass without some training from law school.

I’m interested in Law too and I have just started studying it this year at my sixth-form college. But it is not necessary – I know many people who start studying Law at university too. Good Luck!

Well first off you have to be fluent (or able to pass the proficiency test) in French. As in America, qualifications and steps are going to be different for each school. So find the schools that you are interested in attending and contact them. But on the website for the program there is almost always (at least in larger schools) a basic overview of their international admissions requirements and steps to apply. But as a general rule you will have to have your passport before applying, so make sure to giver yourself plenty of time in getting that. Also, know that out system in America of studying anything then going to law school is stupid. All of the countries in Europe and Asia at least will require you to have a Bachelors in criminal justice or something very close, they are not nearly as lenient as in America, so be prepared.
