Scots Law/English Literature

The Scots Law degree is the required degree for those planning to enter the Scottish legal profession. It also provides an excellent starting point for those who wish to, after qualification in Scotland, seek out qualification in England and Wales and Northern Ireland (not to mention many other jurisdictions around the world). Additionally, the Scots Law curriculum offers intellectual depth and has a range of flexible options and provides a superb starting point for many other careers besides law.

Glasgow School of Law has a hugely successful study abroad programme with more than 60% of students undertaking international mobility in normal years.

For 2022, Law at Glasgow is ranked 5th in the UK (Guardian University Guide, The Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide and Complete University Guide).
