Course summary

Dual Qualifying is best suited to Scottish students, and you can change between the two until the end of the second year.

You do not need to apply for both Scots and Dual degrees.

If you are from England, Wales or Northern Ireland you should apply for the LLB in English Law.

You can study Scots and English Law and proceed to train as either a solicitor or an advocate in Scotland, England, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

If you graduate with this degree, you have a choice of where you can study for your postgraduate professional qualification. This will give you a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.

This course can be used as part of an accepted pathway into practice as a solicitor or a barrister in England and Wales, giving you full flexibility in deciding where to complete your training. Find out more about:

  • the route to qualifying as a solicitor, at the Solicitors Regulation Authority website

  • the process of becoming a barrister, at the Bar Standards Board website

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

Achieving a strong set of qualifications is key to earning a place at the University. We understand grades are influenced by things outside your control, such as the impact of deprivation where you live. That’s why each year we look at each student's application in detail including circumstances outside of your control that may have impacted your potential.
