The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme is an exacting intellectual discipline and offers a thorough grounding in the principles of basic areas of the law. The degree can be studied to Ordinary level, requiring three years of full-time study, or to Honours level in four years of full-time study.

We also offer over 20 other LLB combinations

• Law with Legal Studies
• Law with a language
• Joint law degree

We also offer an accreditated LLB degree for graduates

• Law fast-track (graduate entry)

Studying for an LLB at Glasgow equips you with the knowledge and skills you need in an increasingly competitive legal market.

Our graduates have gone on to work in international courts, the European Commission, banking and finance, international law firms, governments, and academic institutions around the world.

Programme structure

A full year of study normally consists of courses amounting to 120 credits (you may find credits referred to online as Units, but this is the same thing). Subjects are 10, 20, 30 or 40 credits in size. Larger courses are taught over both semesters, while 10 and 20 credit courses are taught in one semester only.

We offer the LLB degree, either solely in law or in combination with other subjects. In all of these degree pathways it is possible to take the courses necessary for entry to the legal profession in Scotland. The main pathways are set out below.
