The programme aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of Law in their socio-economic, institutional, and historical frameworks. While the programme is grounded in Scots law and the Scots legal system, students will also be made familiar with the law and legal systems of the other parts of the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the wider world. Teaching is offered over the two years of the programme in all subjects required for professional legal practice in Scotland. Students on the programme have opportunities to hone their oral presentational skills through participation in legal ‘moots’ which reproduce a courtroom environment. Such mooting is just one of the ways in which the Law School encourages students to develop legal skills through a range of innovative learning methods.
