Degree Programme Table: Law and Politics (LLB) (UTLAWPO)


Year 1, Academic year 2009/10, Starting month: September

  • Notes: Students wishing to pursue qualification to progress towards legal practice in Scotland should note the courses required as indicated in the Degree Programme Table for the LLB Honours (years 1 and 2). They should also note that the availability of Ordinary courses additional to the core curriculum in the 3rd year may be limited by the prescription of Global Justice and Citizenship in that year. As it cannot be guaranteed that an Ordinary course required by a student for qualification for progression towards legal practice will not have a lecture slot simultaneous with that course, it cannot be guaranteed that a curriculum enabling progress towards professional qualification on this programme will be possible. Students undertaking this programme submit a dissertation in Politics where, ordinarily on an LLB programme, they would submit a dissertation in Law.
