Common Law / History, LLB (Hons)

The University of Glasgow's LLB (Common Law) degree suits those aiming to practise in common law jurisdictions like England & Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Canada, but not Scotland. It provides intellectual depth with flexible options, complemented by a broad history programme spanning medieval to modern eras, drawing on expertise in Scottish, British, European, US, global history, slavery, gender, war, intelligence, and genocide studies.This rigorous programme offers Ordinary (three years) or Honours (four years) levels, with over 60% of Honours students undertaking integrated study abroad. Small-group teaching, diverse assessments (e.g., policy papers, blogs), one-to-one feedback, and leading research centres enhance learning. Career prospects are strong: the flexible curriculum builds employer skills, supported by employability events, clinical projects via GO Justice, and recognition for barrister training in England & Wales or solicitor qualification in Northern Ireland (with additional exams required). History graduates access diverse fields like heritage, teaching, consultancy, management, and finance.
