Scots Law LLB
Students taking a Joint Honours degree can complete all the courses necessary to apply for entry to the next stage of professional training for a career in Scottish law, the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice.
Applicants should apply for either the Scots Law LLB or the Common Law LLB, not both. We will only make an offer of a place on one LLB degree. Students wishing to practise in Scotland or, after qualification in Scotland, dual-qualify in another jurisdiction, should apply for the Scots Law LLB. Students applying for the Common Law LLB should make it clear in their application why they wish to be considered for this degree. Once admitted, transfer between programmes is not permitted by the College of Social Science regulations.
The Scots Law degree is the required degree for those planning to enter the Scottish legal profession. It also provides an excellent starting point for those who wish to, after qualification in Scotland, seek out qualification in England and Wales and Northern Ireland (not to mention many other jurisdictions around the world). Additionally, the Scots Law curriculum offers intellectual depth and has a range of flexible options and provides a superb starting point for many other careers besides law.

Law at Glasgow
Which law degree is right for me?
The School of Law offers:
- Scots Law LLB: If you intend to practice in Scotland as a solicitor or advocate you should apply for the Scots Law LLB.
- Common Law LLB: If you intend to practice law in a Common Law jurisdiction such as England & Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, or India you should apply for the Common Law LLB.
Why study Law?
Law is a subject that is relevant to everyone because it affects all our daily lives. It is an academic discipline that attracts students who are interested in how society is regulated, what the aims of regulation should be and how successful it is in achieving them.
The University of Glasgow prides itself on developing world changers and a knowledge and understanding of law and legal systems is one of the important ways in which people can seek to make a difference. This might be through changes to legal policy or practice, or in helping people to solve everyday problems or avoid future disputes.
What kinds of skills do I need to study law?
You will need to be prepared to read a lot of material. Studying law involves reading cases, legislation, official reports and academic opinion about them. This will require you to be able to find relevant information quickly, to pick out what is important and to remember it.
Studying law is not, however, just about gathering information. It is also about analysing facts and putting them into context to be able to provide a reasoned argument about what the law is on a matter. Solving a legal problem requires close attention to detail, an excellent grasp of legal principles and appropriate legal authority, clarity of thought and the ability to think logically and communicate effectively.
Throughout our law degrees you will develop skills in research, managing information, writing, oral presentation, providing critical analysis of law and legal policy, problem solving and working independently and with others.
What kinds of opportunities does the Law School offer?
As well as benefiting from excellent teaching, our law students are able to take advantage of many other opportunities to widen their skills and experiences.These include study abroad for the whole or part of third year. We have strong links with employers and offer a number of events involving law firms and other organisations who are invited to provide information and advice. It is also possible to take part in voluntary placement schemes in the community such as in the Citizens Advice Bureau and Law Centres. We have a very long and successful tradition of competitive mooting (presenting arguments in mock trials), nationally and internationally.
About the Law School
The Law School is located in the Stair Building on the main University Campus on University Avenue, where you will find academic and administrative staff. Some classes are held here, although a wide range of teaching rooms is used across the campus. The Stair Building also houses the Sir Alexander Stone Court Room (which is used for mooting) and the Law Workshop (a study space and an additional library resource to the main library).
Programme structure
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.
Year 1
Initially you will study:
- Constitutional law
- Introduction to legal study
- Obligations (contract, delict and unjustified enrichment)
- Family law.
You will also have the opportunity to take options such as:
- Roman law of property and obligations
- Criminal law and evidence.
Year 2
In the following year, you will study:
- Jurisprudence,
- Law and government.
If you intend to enter the Scottish Legal Profession you must take the following courses during your degree, and these are normally taken in Year 2:
- Business organisations
- Commercial law
- European Union law
- Property law.
In addition there is a range of optional courses to choose from, covering topics such as:
- International Private law
- Labour law
- Advanced International law.
Years 3 and 4
Admission to Honours takes place at the end of the second year. If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4) you can choose from a wide range of individual courses available each year and you will have the opportunity to specialise in a chosen area of law.
Law with Languages
There are many opportunities for you to study law with languages.
During the first two years of a law with language degree, language skills will be carefully developed. This will prepare you to make the most of the opportunity to increase your fluency in a foreign environment while advancing your knowledge of law.
You will spend your third year studying Law in a partner university abroad, where teaching and learning take place in French, German, Italian or Spanish.
In the fourth year, you may continue to study language as an Honours subject and will graduate with a Law with Languages degree or concentrate solely on law subjects and graduate with a Law with Legal Studies degree, for example, Law with French Legal Studies.
Two-year LLB (Fast Track)
The Accelerated LLB is an Ordinary law degree which allows graduates in other disciplines to obtain a degree which will qualify them for entry to the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice and the solicitor branch of the legal profession in two years. The two-year degree is available to all applicants holding a first degree.
Joint degree/Law with Languages/and Accelerated students will cover some of the core modules at different stages of their degrees. There may be in some limited cases timetable clashes. We nevertheless endeavour, where we can, to avoid these or if possible, provide alternatives.

Programme alteration or discontinuation
The University of Glasgow endeavours to run all programmes as advertised. In exceptional
circumstances, however, the University may withdraw or alter a programme. For more information,

Our international links
We have an extremely successful and popular study abroad programme. Traditionally, more than 60% of our Honours students in a normal year take the opportunity to spend all or part of the third year studying law in another country. Many others participate in a summer school or other academic activity abroad.
These exchange and short-term mobility options are available through our Law with Languages or Legal Studies programmes (see next page) or at English-speaking institutions across Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. Students may also take part in summer schools or other short-term mobility opportunities such as the Comparative Law Project.
In all cases study abroad is integrated into the degree and does not involve an additional year of study.

FAQs
What do I do if...
my language qualifications are below the requirements?
The University's School of Modern Languages and Cultures offers a range of Pre-sessional courses to bring you up to entry level. The course is accredited by BALEAP, the UK professional association for academic English teaching.
my language qualifications are not listed here?
Please contact External Relations
If you require a Tier 4 student visa, your qualification must be one of the secure English language tests accepted by UK Border Agency:
- UK Border Agency Tier 4 English Language requirements
- UKBA list of approved English language tests [pdf]
Visa requirements and proof of English language level
It is a visa requirement to provide information on your level of English based on an internationally recognised and secure English language test. All test reports must be no more than 2 years old. A list of these can be found on the UK Border Agency website. If you have never taken one of these tests before, you can get an initial idea of your level by using the Common European Framework self-assessment grid which gives you a level for each skill (e.g. listening B1/writing B2 etc.) However, please note that this is not a secure English language test and it is not sufficient evidence of your level of English for visa requirements.

Career prospects
If you intend to become a solicitor or advocate in Scotland you must, in addition to the professional subjects taken as part of the Scots Law LLB, complete a one-year postgraduate vocational qualification – the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice. There is then a period of full-time training for two years to become a solicitor, and up to two and a half years to become an advocate.
Graduates of the Scots Law LLB are regularly recruited by international firms and may go on to practise law in England and Wales, the USA, Australia and elsewhere. Qualification in other countries involves additional study and examination in the law of the relevant legal system.
The flexibility of the Law degree at Glasgow, together with the emphasis on developing the key skills required by employers and the opportunities available to study abroad and to take part in placement opportunities, means that the LLB degree provides a sound general foundation for a range of careers. These include the Civil Service, local government, journalism, industry and commerce, international institutions, administration, banking, insurance, social work and the police service. All Glasgow law students benefit from a dedicated employability programme within the School, featuring tailored events focusing on various aspects of legal practice. These events feature a range of legal professionals from solicitors and advocates through to judges (many of whom are Glasgow graduates themselves). Finally, law students at Glasgow may gain real world legal experience and an opportunity to develop their skillset through legal clinical projects run via the GO Justice Initiative.
Accreditation
All Scots Law LLB degrees ensure you are eligible to apply for the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, albeit there is no guarantee of successfully securing a Diploma place. Currently, the number of applicants exceeds the number of available places each year. Each individual Diploma provider has its own approach to ranking applicants. Most put weight on results gained in the foundation (first and second year) subjects.
Following the successful completion of the Diploma, graduates are eligible to start a training contract in Scotland and work towards qualification as a solicitor in Scotland (under the Law Society of Scotland) or to be called to the Scottish Bar (by the Faculty of Advocates). The Scots Law LLB degree and the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice are fully accredited by the Law Society of Scotland. It is also possible, following qualification in Scotland, to enter the legal profession in other jurisdictions in the UK and around the world, albeit further study or accreditation is generally necessary to pursue these opportunities.
