Study at a Top 10 UK Law School (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023).
Law was a foundation discipline of the University of Aberdeen when it was established in 1495. Today the Law School is considered one of the UK’s elite training grounds for lawyers - and there’s no substitute for experience. We are ranked 5th in the UK of 105 Law Schools for Overall Student Satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2022.
We teach a broad cohort of around 1200 undergraduate, postgraduate and research students representing 40 nationalities. The University has a student population of around 14,000 and a large international community of students drawn from 130 different countries. Our staff have a broad range of research interests, reflected by our five specialist law centres; Centre for Commercial Law, Centre for Constitutional and Public International Law, Centre for Energy Law, Centre for Private International Law and Centre for Scots Law, and our Dispute Resolution Network.
The Law School has its own dedicated library housing 55,000 volumes and providing access to all the main law journals and legal databases.
Programmes
The School offers many specialist taught LLM degrees across five legal themes: Commercial & Trade Law, Energy & Natural Resources Law, International Law, Human Rights & Criminal Justice, and International Intellectual Property and Information Law. A number of our taught LLM programmes have 2 options – with Professional Skills, providing indispensable work-ready competencies or with Dissertation, providing specific research and study. We currently offer three online programmes LLM Oil and Gas Law, LLM Dispute Resolution and LLM International Trade Law. We also offer an LLM research and an Accelerated LLB for well-qualified graduates wishing to gain an additional degree in law.
