The Degree of Bachelor of Laws (LLB) in Global Law is offered as a general qualification. It is not a law degree that qualifies students for practice. Students following the curriculum may confine their studies to purely legal subjects or combine them with approved subjects in other Schools in the College of Humanities and Social Science and the College of Science and Engineering. Teaching is based on a range of legal systems and problems from around the globe.
- Notes on Progress towards Legal Practice
The core curriculum for the degree will not, in itself, qualify a graduate for progress towards legal practice in Scotland. Nor will a student have enough optional credits to choose those subjects which the Law Society of Scotland, and the Faculty of Advocates, may from time to time stipulate within their Regulations.
- Programme Transfers
Students who begin the Global Law LLB programme but later wish to change to another degree should note that the core curriculum for the Global Law LLB is not transferable to the LLB in Law.
If students wish to transfer to another degree programme outwith the Law School, the programme may require some additional courses for graduation which are not required for graduation from the Global Law LLB. It cannot be guaranteed that such additional courses can be available to all students under all circumstances. For that reason, Global Law LLB students need to consider carefully, particularly as they select their optional courses in the 1st and 2nd years of the programme, whether they may wish to transfer to another programme, and choose their options accordingly.
- Programme Requirements
Please note all compulsory courses in the first year are required for the award of LLB Honours on this programme.
