LLB (Hons) Law with English Law and European Legal Studies

Law and English Law with European Legal Studies at Aberdeen is a brilliant combination which builds on the strong reputation of our highly-ranked Aberdeen Law School plus the bonus of gaining all the necessary subjects to pursue your career in Scotland OR in England, Wales or Northern Ireland.

Law at Aberdeen looks at the historical, social, political and economic forces that influence our legal systems and govern our societies. Youll learn to think like a lawyer rather than just 'learn' law. A major factor in our quality is the calibre and enthusiasm of our staff, testing your mental agility with complex, realistic legal scenarios as you get to grips with criminal, public and private law, legal systems, contracts, human rights, and explore family law, the law of property, and legal aspects of the EU. Youll also have opportunities to hone your skills in student-led initiatives such as mock legal debating, our Law Society, students journal, and our community law clinic the Aberdeen Law Project. As with all the other combined programmes, youll cover the required content of Scots and English Law to gain the LLB. Youll also spend all your third year at either Aarhus, Deusto, Helsinki, Leuven or Maastricht universities, or the Vienna University of Economics and Business, studying European legal systems with courses taught in English.
Should you choose to practise law, your skills will give you brilliant opportunities . However more than a third of Aberdeen law graduates now choose to use their law degree as an entry into a wide range of careers , including business, media, finance , teaching, governmental departments, and the police force.
