The LLB law course is accredited by the Law Society of Scotland and enables graduates, on successful completion of postgraduate training, to become solicitors. The course offers a wide grounding in legal issues for those seeking careers in other areas, such as private business, the media or politics.
Abertay has a number of partner universities in other EU countries and law students will have the option of spending one or two semesters studying abroad. We currently have partner institutions in Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Finland.
The other law course at Abertay is the European Business Law degree, which offers direct year 3 entry for students who have already completed two or more years' legal study. This course is particularly designed for EU students moving to the UK.

Specialist study on areas like competition law and environmental law is also offered.
