Why this course?

There are a number of ways you can study law at Strathclyde, one such way being the BA degree in combination with another subject. Please that studying Law within the BA degree will not qualify you for entry to the legal profession. For professional qualifications in Law, students follow the LLB programme.

Law is concerned with the study of the obligations, duties and rights which every member of society has in relation to one another and to the state.

The study of law is regarded not as purely vocational, but part of a broader education.
