Course Description

LLB LAW (COMMON LAW): The Common Law degree is designed for students who plan to practise law in common law jurisdictions in countries such as England and Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Canada and India. It is not suitable for those who may wish to enter the legal profession in Scotland. The Common Law curriculum offers intellectual depth and has a range of flexible options. Glasgow School of Law has a hugely successful study abroad programme with more than 60% of students undertaking international mobility in normal years. ENGLISH LITERATURE: You will explore all aspects of literature in English, benefiting from our expertise in a wide range of areas, including American, Irish and postcolonial literatures, critical theory, creative writing, and the relationship between literature and other arts, media and science. You will benefit from access to our world-class Hunterian and Library collections, with strengths in the 18th- and 19th-centuries, travel, illuminated manuscripts and significant single-author holdings.
