Common Law / Politics, LLB (Hons)

The Common Law LLB degree suits those aiming to practice in common law jurisdictions like England & Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Canada, but not Scotland. It provides intellectual depth with flexible options, complemented by Politics, which examines power distribution in society and its impact on decision-making across countries.At the University of Glasgow, this rigorous programme offers a thorough legal foundation, available as a three-year Ordinary degree or four-year Honours. Over 60% of Honours students study abroad in their third year, integrated without extra time, covering international relations, political theory, and regional politics. Career prospects are broad, including civil service, journalism, banking, and law. It meets Bar Standards Board requirements for barristers in England & Wales and supports solicitor qualification via SQE or Northern Ireland routes, with Politics enhancing research, analytical, and communication skills through workshops and internships.
