Course summary
The Global Law programme at Edinburgh is designed to prepare you for a range of careers in a rapidly changing professional environment. It will provide you with the legal skills, substantive knowledge, and global outlook to work across borders, and to bring a uniquely legal perspective to solving global challenges. The LLB Global Law does not provide you with a qualification to practice law. Instead, the degree will provide you with skills to adapt, innovate and succeed in a globally oriented legal career. You may move from country to country, or work with local, national and regional institutions, organisations or businesses with a global perspective. You may work with clients who need to be advised on cross-jurisdictional matters, or with supra- or inter-national organisations. In Years 1 and 2, you will study courses that will provide a solid foundation in core legal skills, methods and concepts from a global perspective. In Year 3, you will have a compulsory exchange year with one of our selected partner schools, which span 6 continents. You will gain exposure to a different legal tradition, and benefit from broader cultural benefits, global networks, and a range of legal skills. In Year 4, courses are studied at 'Honours' level, where you will choose from specialist courses covering a range of theoretical, practical and historical fields of study. The Honours programme in Year 4 places a strong emphasis on developing your analytical ability, with importance placed on written and oral skills. There are also opportunities to perfect your oral skills through participation in legal 'moots' which reproduce a courtroom environment. Mooting is just one of the ways in which the Law School encourages you to develop legal skills through a range of innovative learning methods.
