Bachelor of Laws (Honours) - Law (Graduate Entry) (M115)

The Graduate Bachelor of Laws is a two-year program intended for those who already hold a degree-level qualification and wish to obtain an undergraduate qualification in law. The Graduate Bachelor of Laws is designed primarily to prepare students for entry to the Scottish legal profession. Students will build the ideal foundation for further professional study in law. This usually means going on to take the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice (known as Professional Education and Training stage 1, or PEAT 1).

In accordance with the requirements of the Law Society of Scotland and the Faculty of Advocates, The University of Edinburgh will ensure students gain the legal skills and knowledge needed for a future as either a solicitor, or as an advocate, in the Scottish legal profession.

This is a qualifying degree for professional practice in Scotland. However, a number of graduates also go on to qualify and practice law in other jurisdictions, in accordance with the relevant local conversion requirements and any further study required in the non-Scottish destination jurisdiction.
