Law (Graduate Entry)

The Graduate LLB is a two-year programme for those who already have a degree-level qualification and wish to get an undergraduate qualification in law.

The Graduate LLB is designed to prepare you for entry to the Scottish legal profession. You will build the ideal foundation for further professional study in law. This usually means going on to take the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice (known as Professional Education and Training stage 1, or PEAT 1).

In accordance with the requirements of the Law Society of Scotland and the Faculty of Advocates, we will ensure you gain the legal skills and knowledge needed for a future as either a solicitor or as an advocate in the Scottish legal profession.

This is a qualifying degree for professional practice in Scotland. A number of graduates also go on to qualify and practise law in other jurisdictions. These graduates must comply with the local conversion requirements and complete any further study non-Scottish jurisdictions require.
