Our Law LLB degree course aims to provide you with a practical and diverse education in the discipline of law.

The combination of private and public law subjects taught on this course will equip you with the knowledge to meet a wide spectrum of employment sectors, whether in the legal profession or elsewhere.

Practical experience is developed through regular mooting exercises (legal debating), oral presentations, group work, research and writing exercises. We have a dedicated moot court room where you will learn how to present cases in a courtroom environment. This course is accredited by the Law Society of Scotland. We value the advice and input of our close contacts in the legal profession, who constantly keep us informed of the latest professional trends.

We also offer the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice (DLP). This is a one-year postgraduate qualification and is mandatory in order to practise as a solicitor in Scotland. Many of our graduates who have taken this route have an excellent record for securing quality employment in the legal profession. Employment prospects for our law graduates are rated at 85% in The Complete University Guide subject tables.
