You will study core law subjects, many with a clinical focus. For example, you will take Ethics and Justice and Clinical Legal Practice. You will also write a diary every two weeks about your work in the Law Clinic, which helps you think deeply about law and legal ethics. After two years, if you perform well, you may have the chance to continue to an Honours year. Studying LLB Law (Clinical) (Graduate Entry) from the University of Strathclyde will quickly provide you with the professional knowledge and practical experience you need for a legal career.

The University of Strathclyde has a long history, starting in 1796. It was founded by a professor named John Anderson, who had one clear aim: to create a "place of useful learning." This meant making education easily available and very practical. The school was officially given university status in 1964. Today, it is recognised for its focus on new ideas, technology, and applied research.

The university is known for high-quality teaching and research across four faculties: Engineering, Science, Business, and Humanities & Social Sciences. In a recent review across the UK, almost 90% of the research conducted at Strathclyde was rated as either world-leading or internationally excellent. The university is particularly strong in the fields of engineering, science, and business, and it has won the Times Higher Education's University of the Year award two times.

When you submit your application, you will be invited to an online interview for a position in the Law Clinic. Applicants who are unsuccessful at the interview may be made an alternative offer on the non-Clinical Graduate Entry Law programme at Strathclyde.
