Course summary
Law is the language for how rules govern society, business and human interaction. It needs graduates who have intellectual resilience, practical skills and a desire to advocate for justice. The Scottish law sector has seen unprecedented growth since 2021 (Source: Law Society of Scotland, 2024).
Our LLB course will give you the critical thinking, confidence and communication skills to thrive in law. You will develop advanced skills in legal reasoning, statutory interpretation and case analysis.
The course is shaped by current professional practice and strong links with the profession. This ensures that our graduates meet the latest industry and employer expectations.
The perfect law degree for a career in Scotland
The LLB degree is your first major step towards practising law in Scotland. Upon completion, you can apply for the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice. This a requirement for becoming a solicitor in Scotland.
We’re accredited by the Law Society of Scotland and recognised by the Faculty of Advocates. Students can gain exemptions from the exams required by the Faculty of Advocates.
Practical experience beyond the classroom
Sharpen your advocacy skills in simulated court proceedings (mooting competitions). You can also access work placements that provide valuable hands-on experience. Previous students have gained experience at leading law firms such as Thorntons, Brodies and Pollock Ross. They have also worked in Citizens Advice Bureaux across Scotland.
Our student Law Society organises social events, networking opportunities, and skills workshops.
