Course summary

As technology advances legal practice is increasingly evolving to embrace the advantages of computing science. This degree programme combines two critical educational assets, a qualifying degree in law from a **Top 10 UK Law School (Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023)** and the ability to program computers and work with advanced data systems. By studying the LLB Law with Computing Science you will experience an integrated education combining a qualifying law degree with computing science skills.Legal practice is already being transformed by big data and computer forensics. It is likely that legal practice will be impacted on by developments within artificial intelligence, for example AI supporting law document creation. The advent of computer protocols such as the block chain are also likely to drive further innovation in legal documentation and transactions. The legal profession is facing the paradigm changes previously seen in engineering ,banking and the media that were driven by advancements in computer science. This degree will enable graduates to embrace these changes and success in the new world of computationally enhanced legal services.Law at Aberdeen looks at the historical, social, political and economic forces that influence our legal systems and govern our societies.From a computer science perspective you gain a solid foundation in a subject area which is in high demand, giving you skills in programme languages, data management, different systems, robotics, and problem-solving, operating systems and web application development. **We are ranked 4th in the UK for Computer Science and Information Systems - The Guardian University Guide 2022. Aberdeen is ranked 2nd in Scotland and 5th in the UK for Computing Science – The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021.**You will graduate with great employment opportunities, both in legal professions and also in careers for which the intellectual and practical qualities you have developed will make you highly sought-after by employers, including business, politics, media, finance and banking, and government services.**Students wishing to transfer from another University**, into the LLB degree at Aberdeen must submit an application to UCAS by the equal consideration deadline date.
