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. You’ll also have the further career advantage of spending a full year of your five-year programme abroad studying in-depth the legal systems of Europe.


Our Law school has an outstanding reputation, ranked 12th in the UK out of more than 90 law schools, positioned in the top five for graduate prospects and scoring an impressive 95% for student satisfaction.Study Law at a top 10 UK Law School (Complete University Guide 2020)

Law at Aberdeen looks at the historical, social, political and economic forces that influence our legal systems and govern our societies. You’ll 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.You’ll 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, you’ll cover the required content of Scots and English Law to gain the LLB. You’ll 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.


Students wishing to transfer from another University

, into the LLB degree at Aberdeen must submit an application to UCAS by the equal consideration deadline date. The University of Aberdeen will only consider transfer requests into year 1 or year 2 of the LLB. Students cannot transfer into the 2-year LLB Accelerated degree.


Graduates wishing to apply for an LLB

must apply for the 2-year LLB Accelerated degree –


Law Accelerated (M115)

or


Law with English Law Accelerated (M116)

. Tuition fees for the Accelerated programmes are at a separate rate. In the event that a Graduate undertakes a 4-year or 5-year LLB degree, please note that tuition fees are charged each year of study at the same rate as those set for the Accelerated programme.
