Course summary

This Graduate Entry LLB degree is a two-year law course - perfect if you have a degree already and want to get an undergraduate degree in Law.

It's designed for graduates from any discipline who now want to study law and work in the Scottish legal profession. You’ll complete the full LLB in two years instead of four, covering all the subjects required by the Law Society of Scotland.

You won’t just learn the rules of law – you’ll learn to think like a lawyer. Through case analysis, problem-solving and legal research, you’ll develop the skills to read complex material, build arguments and give clear, structured advice.

If you have an undergraduate degree in another subject, our two-year accelerated Law degree gets your career started in the Scottish legal profession. This means you’ll gain a critical understanding of the theories, concepts and principles behind the Scottish legal system. Along the way, you’ll be actively encouraged to enhance your CV with extracurricular activities like pro-bono work and the mooting club.

Assessment method

You’ll learn through a mix of on-campus lectures, small-group tutorials and practical exercises such as moots, negotiations and simulated client interviews, with close support from academic staff. You’ll be assessed through a blend of exams and coursework, including:

  • Problem-based questions.

  • Essays.

  • Presentations.

  • Oral advocacy.

Each is designed to test your knowledge of Scots law and develop the research, analysis and communication skills used in legal practice.

We recognise that our students have different learning styles and different skills when they start their studies. Our aim is to ensure that we nurture and reinforce understanding of the subjects studied, together with the research and employability skills required in a constantly changing world.
