Course summary
The Global Law programme at Edinburgh is designed to prepare you for a range of careers in a rapidly changing professional environment.It will provide you with the legal skills, substantive knowledge, and global outlook to work across borders, and to bring a uniquely legal perspective to solving global challenges. The LLB Global Law does not provide you with a qualification to practice law. Instead, the degree will provide you with skills to adapt, innovate and succeed in a globally oriented legal career. You may move from country to country, or work with local, national and regional institutions, organisations or businesses with a global perspective. You may work with clients who need to be advised on cross-jurisdictional matters, or with supra- or inter-national organisations.Learning outcomesThe programme aims to provide you with the knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of law in their socioeconomic, institutional, and historical frameworks.It does this by offering a deep understanding of the role of law and lawyers in historic and contemporary processes of globalisation and transnationalisation, including those of slavery and colonialism, from perspectives across the Global North and South.You will also be made familiar with the law and legal systems in the European Union, the international community, and the wider world.You will learn to think about legal issues, structures and problems beyond the boundaries of any particular legal system. You will benefit from a particularly strong focus on comparative and transnational legal methods.
