Additional information

Completion of the LLB (Ordinary or Honours) is stage one of qualifying as a solicitor in Scotland.  Stage two is the Diploma in Legal Practice (DLP) also known as ‘Professional Education and Training Stage 1 (PEAT 1) currently offered by six universities in Scotland. Places on the DLP are allocated according to marks achieved in compulsory modules, typically taken in years of the LLB. The DLP is a vocationally orientated course designed to prepare students for stage three (PEAT 2, also known as the traineeship). Law is a competitive profession and completion of the DLP is no guarantee of a traineeship. Possession of a prior Honours degree is desirable. Many Law students choose not to enter the legal profession, but use their LLB as a stepping-stone into other professions, particularly banking, finance, the civil service, teaching and the police. Some go on to further study or go into business.
