Course summary

This is an accelerated undergraduate degree, which is available to graduates of any discipline, including Law. The two-year degree provides graduates with a pathway towards professional qualification. The programme is a foundational training in law and satisfies the Bar Standard Board requirements for the academic stage of legal training. It is not an approved pathway to legal practice in Scotland. The programme is particularly suitable for students coming from Common law countries such as Canada, and it is a recognised degree in jurisdictions such as India and Northern Ireland. This flexible degree offers courses that put an emphasis on developing the key skills required by employers.The programme also provides you with a sound general foundation for a range of careers beyond law, such as the civil service, local government, journalism, industry and commerce, international institutions, administration, banking, insurance, social work and the police service. On successful completion of the LLB you will be able to apply to one of our specialised or general LLM (Master of Laws) degrees.The flexibility of the LLB (Common law) at Glasgow, together with the emphasis on developing the key skills required by employers and the opportunities available to study abroad and to take part in placement opportunities, means that the degree provides a sound general foundation for a range of careers. These include the civil service, local government, journalism, industry and commerce, international institutions, administration, banking, insurance, social work and the police service. For those seeking to work as a lawyer in England and Wales, the LLB (Common law) will provide an invaluable foundation in the academic study of law.If you intend to become a barrister in England and Wales, the LLB (Common Law) satisfies the Bar Standards Board requirements regarding the academic component of training based on a law degree. After completing our degree, you would then undertake the ‘vocational stage’ of training, which requires completion of a postgraduate Bar course. The final step in qualifying as a barrister involves a period of full-time training for one year (‘pupillage’).
