Law and International Relations, LLB (Hons)

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 study or employment. International Relations examines the driving forces behind international cooperation and conflict and explores security and prosperity in the international system. The joint LLB in Law and International Relations aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of law. You will also gain a broad understanding of the origins and evolution of the state system and the changing nature of state power.
