Description

The University of Aberdeen has a long tradition of teaching law: it was over five hundred years ago that Bishop William Elphinstone first established a faculty of law at King's College.Today the School of Law admits about 250 full time law students from all over the UK, but predominantly from Scotland, to the first year of the LLB degree - which, it should be noted, is based on Scots law, not English law. Each year undergraduate numbers are swelled by over 40 law students from the Universities of Grenoble, Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand, Brussels, Freiburg, Marburg, Regensburg, Aarhus, Helsinki, Maastricht, Strasbourg, Reims, Leuven, Seville and Bilbao. In addition to the Law School's 800 undergraduates, some 100 students enrol for one of the taught LLM programmes, and about 60 for the research LLM and the PhD; these students visit from several countries. A further 140 well-qualified students are admitted to the Diploma In Legal Practice (DLP), ensuring a truly international atmosphere.
