About this course

We have close links with employers and we offer programmes to support and develop the employability of our students. Our excellent reputation throughout the profession and close links to employers will help you to find employment when you graduate.

The Law School runs an annual Law Fair which attracts law firms and employers from around the UK and further afield. Law firms also regularly visit the law school on an individual basis for recruitment purposes.

While many students study law in order to qualify to practise, the skills acquired in a law degree are also attractive to many prospective employers and the LLB is an ideal basis for a career in professions such as:

the police
banking
journalism
management
civil service
If you do want to enter the English (or Welsh, or Northern Irish) legal profession, you may go on to take the Legal Practice Course and (LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) in England, or sit the examinations for the Institute of Professional Legal Studies in Northern Ireland.

A number of graduates go on to undertake postgraduate degrees within the School in areas such as commercial, international, human rights and environmental law.

There is no advanced entry to the Law degrees based on Advanced Highers, A levels or HND.
Applicants who offer SQA Highers taken over two sittings of examinations and applicants who offer Advanced Highers to supplement grades achieved in the first sitting of examinations are expected to have slightly higher grades.
