Joint 2nd in Scotland for graduate prospects

Guardian University Guide 2025 / Times University Guide 2025

Dundee’s 4 year LLB in Scots Law satisfies the academic component of training to become a solicitor or advocate in Scotland. On successful completion of the LLB, our graduates are eligible to start the one year vocational Diploma before commencing their traineeship.

Dundee law graduates have gone onto secure traineeships and develop successful careers at home and abroad with leading firms and organisations. These include:

Our Scots law students have become advocates, members of the judiciary and a range of other legal roles in Scotland such as Law Clerk to the Lord President and legal academia.
Dundee graduates have also used their law degrees, and the transferable skills they have acquired, to achieve success in many other fields, including working in regulators such as the Competition and Markets Authority, forensic accountancy, the civil service and legal technology.
