Our LLB graduates have gone on to a wide range of successful careers, and our LLB is a rigorous degree that develops important intellectual and personal skills. That’s why our graduates are attractive to employers both in the legal profession and beyond.

Job Opportunity Potential

The LLB degree is your first major step towards practising Law professionally. Our LLB graduates have gone into a range of careers, and we have alumni at law firms like Pinsent Masons LLP, Brodies LLP, DWF and CMS Cameron McKenna. Meanwhile, others have gone on to work in a wide range of alternate sectors, with employers including Morgan Stanley and the Royal Bank of Scotland plc.

Graduating with the Stirling LLB will enable students who want to become Scots lawyers to apply for entry to the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice. This is offered by a number of universities, and is the next stage towards qualifying as a lawyer in Scotland. Students who want to practise law in England and Wales will have to complete a postgraduate conversion course. For up-to-date advice on the route to qualification, visit the Law Society of Scotland’s website.

The understanding of legal implications and obligations gained through the LLB - along with the ability to apply this knowledge in practice - is valuable in many parts of the public, private and voluntary sectors. That’s why many of our graduates choose careers outside the legal profession such as banking, insurance, accounting, management, the civil service and education.
