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.

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

financial services
politics
journalism
public policy
government work
The LLB programme will provide you with a range of useful skills in logic and rhetoric, transferable to other academic and professional fields.

The programme aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of law in their socio-economic, institutional, and historical frameworks.
