The LLB and LLB Graduate Entry programmes are not currently accredited by the Law Society of Scotland. Both programmes have been designed to meet the outcomes required by the Law Society of Scotland for a Foundation Degree. The University has submitted an application for accreditation to the Law Society of Scotland and applicants will be kept informed of progress. In the event that accreditation is not obtained prior to March 31st 2025, we will inform all applicants of other course options available to them.

 

The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the Scottish legal system and associated practices and principles.

 

UWS is currently working towards full accreditation of the LLB by the Law Society of Scotland and recognition from the Faculty of Advocates.

 

In addition to the programme being designed in accordance with the core LLB modules, you will benefit from UWS expertise in specialist areas of Law such as International Humanitarian Law in Practice, International Criminal Law, Public International Law, and Tribunal Skills.
