Law and Economics LLB (Hons)

Joint programmes allow you to study law alongside another named academic discipline. Over four years of study you will take a range of courses from both the Law School and the School with which your programme is combined. Studying a joint degree at Edinburgh provides you with wide-ranging academic foundations and a broader qualification to apply for postgraduate degrees or employment. Economics is the study of the incentives that shape and reconcile the decisions that individuals, businesses, governments and societies make. The joint LLB in Law and Economics aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of law, alongside a broad knowledge of key economic and social issues, principles, models and associated mathematical and statistical techniques.
