Law (Clinical) University of Strathclyde

Overview

Studying law concerns the obligations, duties and rights of every member of society in relation to their neighbours and to society.

This Law (Clinical) course from the University of Strathclyde offers you the opportunity to undertake a law degree recognised in Scotland. You'll gain in-depth knowledge of Scots law in a department that puts special emphasis on experiential learning.

We're home to Scotland’s biggest student-run law clinic, which offers a unique, real-world, learning environment. Membership of the Clinic is a requirement of the CLLB; membership is highly competitive and requires applicants to pass both written and face-to-face interview stages. The written application form is available from the Law Clinic. If a CLLB applicant does not gain entry to membership of the Law Clinic, but otherwise fulfils the entrance requirements for this degree, they would be offered a place on the regular Graduate Entrant LLB programme instead.

What you’ll study

This is an accelerated programme for graduates from other disciplines. You'll study a three-year LLB condensed into two years. The programme covers all of the compulsory professional subjects required by the Law Society of Scotland to practice as a solicitor in Scotland.

Depending on performance, there may be an opportunity for you to proceed to an Honours year.
