Bachelor of Law in Law and Social Policy

Program Overview

Joint programmes allow you to study law alongside another named academic discipline. Over four years of study you will take a range of courses from both the Law School and the School with which your programme is combined.

Studying a joint degree at Edinburgh provides you with wide-ranging academic foundations and a broader qualification to apply for postgraduate degrees or employment.

Social policy is the study of the distribution of welfare and wellbeing within societies and the policies which influence that distribution.

The joint LLB in Law and Social Policy aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of law.

You will also gain an understanding of how political debate and policy making can influence and alleviate the effects of social change. Current political and social issues are explored in a Scottish, a UK-wide, a European, and an international context.

Additional Information

Careers

After graduating you can progress to the legal profession in Scotland by completing the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, followed by a traineeship with a legal firm, to qualify as a solicitor.

However, this is only possible following a joint degree programme if you have been able to complete all additional courses required for the Diploma.

You can then opt to go to the Bar, to qualify as an advocate. This requires a period of 'devilling' under the supervision and direction of a practising advocate.
