Course Summary

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 in 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 degrees or employment. Politics is about power, people, institutions and the nature of the just society. It is a dynamic subject area, rapidly and constantly evolving and affecting the lives of everyone. The joint LLB in Law and Politics aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of law. You will also gain an understanding of the choices that political systems must regularly make, the processes that maintain or change those systems, and the concepts and values used in political analysis. The fundamental constitutional structure of the United Kingdom is in a greater state of change than it has been for many years. There is an intellectual and practical marriage between the law and politics which drive this phenomenon. You will examine the tools which are used to shape and resolve it. **A location at the heart of Scottish law and politics** Edinburgh is an ideal location for this programme. As well as the superb resources of the University, the city has a range of political and governmental institutions including the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government. The National Archives of Scotland contains a major collection of material relating to the government of Scotland since the mediaeval period. The National Library is a UK depository for the historic archives of the European Union.
