LLB Law and Sociology
Joint programmes allow you to study law alongside another named academic discipline. Over four years of study you will take a range of courses from both the Law School and the School with which your programme is combined.
Studying a joint degree at Edinburgh provides you with wide-ranging academic foundations and a broader qualification to apply for postgraduate study or employment.
Sociology is the attempt to understand how society works. The joint LLB in Law and Sociology aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of law.
You will also gain an awareness of how individual choices are affected by wider social forces, and how they can be understood by placing them in their own social context. Through an analysis of the patterns and structures in human relationships, you will be encouraged to see the world through the eyes of other people.

Job Opportunity Potential
After graduating you can progress on to the legal profession in Scotland by completing the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, followed by a traineeship with a legal firm, to qualify as a solicitor.
Please note however that this is only possible following a joint degree programme if you have been able to complete all additional courses required for the Diploma.
You can then opt to go to the Bar, to qualify as an advocate. This requires a period of 'devilling' under the supervision and direction of a practising advocate.
There are also opportunities for Scottish-qualified lawyers to practise in other jurisdictions.
Graduates who do not choose a legal career often use their skills and experience for employment in finance, management or journalism. Our graduates have also worked with international organisations such as the United Nations and (hitherto) the European Union.
