LLB (Hons) Scots and English Law

Why this course?

The Law School at Strathclyde is one of Scotland’s leading providers of legal education.

Studying Law concerns the obligations, duties, and rights of every member of society in relation to their neighbours and to society.

You'll gain in-depth knowledge of both English and Scots law. Law firms value students with knowledge of more than one legal jurisdiction. Being able to deal with transactions encompassing both areas of law puts you ahead of other graduates.

This degree is not only useful because it teaches you the law of a number of jurisdictions, but also because your knowledge of a number of legal systems will introduce you to different ways of thinking about law.

Assessment

We use many different methods of assessment, in addition to exams and course work. For example, Social Security Law is assessed by students presenting a case. Students from all years can participate in various mooting competitions and Strathclyde has impressive success rates in these. Many students have also competed successfully in national and international mediation competitions.

Learning & teaching

As well as lectures, tutorials and seminars, our teaching methods include experiences such as the Law Clinic and legal practice. In Domestic Relations & Evidence, lectures are delivered by webcasts.
