Bachelor of Law (Hons) in Common Law

Program Overview

The Common Law degree is designed for students who plan to practise law in common law jurisdictions in countries such as England and Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada and India. It is not suitable for those who may wish to enter the legal profession in Scotland. The Common Law curriculum offers intellectual depth and has a range of flexible options.

The programme is a foundational training in law and satisfies the Bar Standard Board requirements for the academic stage of legal training. It is not an approved pathway to legal practice in Scotland.
The programme is particularly suitable for students coming from Common law countries such as Canada, and it is a recognised degree in jurisdictions such as India and Northern Ireland.
This flexible degree offers courses that put an emphasis on developing the key skills required by employers.
The programme provides you with a sound general foundation for a range of careers, such as the civil service, local government, journalism, industry and commerce, international institutions, administration, banking, insurance, social work and the police service.
On successful completion of the LLB you will have the opportunity to combine your qualification with one of our specialised or general LLM (Master of Laws) degrees.

Career Prospects

The flexibility of the LLB (Common law) at Glasgow, together with the emphasis on developing the key skills required by employers and the opportunities available to study abroad and to take part in placement opportunities, means that the degree provides a sound general foundation for a range of careers. These include the civil service, local government, journalism, industry and commerce, international institutions, administration, banking, insurance, social work and the police service.

For those seeking to work as a lawyer in England and Wales, the LLB (Common law) will provide an invaluable foundation in the academic study of law.

If you intend to become a barrister in England and Wales, the LLB (Common Law) satisfies the Bar Standards Board requirements regarding the academic component of training based on a law degree. After completing our degree, you would then undertake the ‘vocational stage’ of training, which requires completion of a postgraduate Bar course. The final step in qualifying as a barrister involves a period of full-time training for one year (‘pupillage’).

If you intend to become a solicitor, the Solicitors Regulation Authority recently introduced a new, independent, centralised assessment called the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). For law degrees starting in 2022 the requirements to become a solicitor now include:

A degree in any subject or a qualification or experience that is equivalent to a degree, such as a solicitor apprenticeship.
Passing the SQE 1 and SQE2 assessments
Two years’ full time (or equivalent) qualifying work experience

The LLB (Common Law) is also a recognised degree in jurisdictions such as India and Northern Ireland and is foundational for those seeking entry to the legal profession in a range of other jurisdictions such as Canada.
