Course summary

This four-year Honours course is ideal for students keen to obtain their foundational qualifications in law whilst simultaneously gaining real-life case experience in Strathclyde’s Law Clinic.

The Law School at Strathclyde is one of Scotland’s leading providers of legal education, and we are home to Scotland’s biggest student-run law clinic, which offers a unique, real-world, learning environment. Our students have an exceptional opportunity to put their learning into practice, by assisting members of the community who can not access legal representation elsewhere.

Studying law concerns the obligations, duties and rights of every member of society in relation to their neighbours and to society. The CLLB is a unique course offering you not only the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of Scots law, but to do so with a special emphasis on experiential learning and assisting others to access justice.

Ranked Top 10 in the UK for Law (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2025).

  1. Stage One: Once you have submitted your UCAS application you will be invited to submit an application to the Strathclyde Law Clinic. This is a paper based application which will be sent to you directly by the Department. This application will be considered by members of the Law Clinic. If you are successful at this stage, you will proceed to stage two.
  2. Stage Two: Applicants who reach stage two will be required to interview face to face for a position in the Law Clinic. For applicants based overseas, this may be done by Skype. Applicants who are unsuccessful at interview may be made an alternative offer on a non-Clinical LLB programme. Entry to the Clinical degree is conditional upon successful completion of a Law Clinic application form and interview. Application forms will be sent out with conditional offers and interviews will be held in February/March. Importantly, applicants who are not successful in both stages of this process will still be offered a place on the LLB Honours Law degree, subject to the entry requirements listed above being met. For this reason, it is not necessary to apply for both programmes and use up two UCAS options; simply apply for the Clinical LLB in the first instance
