Course summary

Fully accredited by the Law Society of Scotland, our friendly and open student experience is what makes us stand out from other universities.

The LLB will enable you to apply for the Diploma in Legal Practice (also known as PEAT 1), the next step on the way to becoming a qualified solicitor or advocate in Scotland.

The LLB is an excellent qualification if you wish to work in other professions, particularly those related to business and finance.

In fourth year there is a range of optional law subjects, such as Sports Law, enabling you to reflect on the function of law in a wider economic, political, international and social context.

We have a 100% satisfaction rate for our LLB (Hons) Law course (National Student Survey, 2023).

We are a top 10 UK modern university for Law (The Guardian Good University Guide 2022, 2023, 2024).
