Law (part-time) (Hons) University of Strathclyde

Overview

The Law (part-time) (Hons) degree from the University of Strathclyde is open to you if you want to enter university for the first time after a period out of formal education (adult returners) and to those who already hold a degree in another discipline (graduate entrants).

Part-time study of the LLB normally takes six years (five for graduate entrants).

At the end of the period of study, you'll graduate with a qualifying ordinary degree in Scots Law, recognised by the Law Society of Scotland as a necessary precondition for entry into the Scottish legal profession. Opportunities exist for further honours level study, and to progress to the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice.

As a part-time law student at Strathclyde you'll benefit from being taught by expert academic staff in a friendly and supportive environment. You'll also have access to the same excellent library and other university facilities as full-time students, and can take advantage of extra-curricular opportunities, such as Strathclyde’s award-winning Law Clinic and our mooting programme.

Careers

The LLB has an obvious appeal to anyone wishing to develop a career in the legal profession. A law degree is also seen as an equally attractive option for a variety of individuals and employers in areas as diverse as teaching, public sectors, housing, administration, social and welfare services as well as commerce and industry generally.

The LLB degree is both an academic discipline worthy of study in its own right and a qualification paving the way for entry to the Scottish legal profession.
