Undergraduate study - 2025 entry

LLB Law (Ordinary and Honours)

UCAS code: M114

Duration: 4 years

Delivery: Full-time

School: Law

College: Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Introducing LLB Law (Ordinary and Honours)

The LLB at Edinburgh is designed to prepare you for a career as a lawyer in Scotland, providing the ideal foundation for further professional study.

In accordance with the requirements of the Law Society of Scotland and the Faculty of Advocates, we will ensure you gain the legal skills and knowledge needed for a future as either a solicitor, or as an advocate, in the Scottish legal profession.

Non-legal career opportunities

The LLB is not only a gateway to practising law. Many of our graduates choose not to practise law. They find the LLB to be an excellent grounding for many other careers in areas such as:

  • financial services
  • public policy
  • government work

Learning outcomes

Our LLB programme will provide you with a range of useful skills in logic and rhetoric, which you can apply to other academic and professional fields.

This programme aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of law in their socioeconomic, institutional, and historical frameworks.

While the programme is grounded in Scots law and the Scots legal system, you will also learn the law and legal systems in:

  • the other parts of the United Kingdom
  • the European Union
  • the wider world

Start your extraordinary journey with Edinburgh Law School

Accreditation.

Our LLB programmes are accredited by the Law Society of Scotland. You will be required to study certain courses to graduate with a fully qualifying degree.

What you will study

On the LLB programme you will study Scots law.

In Years 1 and 2, you will study foundation 'Ordinary' courses.

In Years 3 and 4, courses are studied at 'Honours' level, where you will choose from specialist courses covering a range of theoretical, practical and historical fields of study.

The Honours programme in Years 3 and 4 places a strong emphasis on developing your analytical ability, with importance placed on written and oral skills.

There are also opportunities to hone your oral skills through participation in legal 'moots' which reproduce a courtroom environment. Mooting is just one of the ways in which the Law School encourages you to develop legal skills through a range of innovative learning methods.

You will be introduced to general legal principles and legal techniques. You will study compulsory courses including:

  • Scottish Legal System
  • Critical Legal Thinking
  • Contract Law
  • Public Law of the UK and Scotland
  • European Union Law

You will also have the opportunity to select from a range of optional courses, including optional courses in law.

Your courses will include:

  • Property Law
  • Jurisprudence
  • Public Law and Individual Rights
  • Criminal Law

For professional purposes the following courses are also required:

  • Business Entities
  • Commercial Law
  • Succession and Trust Law

You will also have the opportunity to select a course from a range of options including elective courses in law.

Year 3 is the final year of the LLB (Ordinary) programme.

In this year, you will receive advanced legal skills training during your honours study. You will also have the opportunity to specialise in further law subjects, chosen from a wide range of courses, including:

  • International Law
  • Criminology

You will also study the compulsory course Advanced Legal Writing.

Study abroad

If you are studying law with a language, you will spend Year 3 abroad. For other students, study abroad is also an option.

This is the final year of the LLB (Hons) programme. You will choose further optional advanced courses to expand your specialist knowledge.

You will also write a dissertation, based on a topic studied in Year 3. This will help you develop your legal research and writing skills.

Diploma in Professional Legal Practice

If you are planning to enter the Scottish legal profession, you will need to complete the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice after you graduate.

You can apply for the diploma during the final year of the LLB programme.

Programme structure

Find out more about the compulsory and optional courses in this degree programme.

To give you an idea of what you will study on this programme, we publish the latest available information. However, please note this may not be for your year of entry, but for a different academic year.

Programme structure (2024/25)

Where you will study

Our facilities.

The Law School has been housed in the Old College since the late 1800s. Our traditional and historic home underwent a full refurbishment, completed in 2019. This transformed the building into a 21st century home for the school, while celebrating and preserving the heritage and history of Old College.

As a student at Edinburgh Law School, you will benefit from excellent teaching, study, and research facilities.

Designed for the way you study, the new features include:

  • a law library
  • spacious seminar rooms
  • dedicated student social spaces, including a café

Our library is one of the largest law libraries in the UK.

The Law School is ideally placed for those studying and working in the law. It is within easy walking distance of the highest courts in Scotland and the Scottish Parliament.

You will have the opportunity to study abroad in Year 3 through the University's international exchange programme.

You can find further information about study abroad opportunities at the University's Go Abroad pages:

Learning and assessment

How will i learn.

Large group lectures provide the teaching framework in Years 1 and 2. These are complemented by small group tutorial sessions.

Year 1 students will usually have two or three lectures per week for each course, plus a regular tutorial.

All Year 1 students have access to Edinburgh's Law Peer-Assisted Learning Scheme ( LawPALS ) and the Mooting Society provides you with opportunities to learn and practise courtroom skills.

Years 3 and 4 consist of two-hour seminars, rather than lectures and tutorials, in which students are expected to discuss and explore topics in more depth.

How will I be assessed?

You will be assessed by a combination of coursework and exams.

Career opportunities

After graduating you can progress to the legal profession in Scotland by completing the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, followed by a traineeship with a legal firm, to qualify as a solicitor.

You can then opt to go to the Bar, to qualify as an advocate. This requires a period of 'devilling' under the supervision and direction of a practising advocate.

Careers outside Scotland

This programme is intended as a qualifying degree for professional practice in Scotland. There are rules in place which enable a Scots-qualified solicitor or advocate to re-qualify as a solicitor or barrister in England and Wales.

A number of graduates also go on to qualify and practise law in other jurisdictions, in Europe and elsewhere. To do this, you must comply with the local conversion requirements and complete any further study non-Scottish jurisdictions require.

Non-legal careers

Graduates who do not choose a legal career often use their skills and experience for employment in areas such as:

Our graduates have also worked with international organisations such as the United Nations and the European Union.
