The University of Edinburgh Law School is an international and in particular a European Law School, rooted in the eclectic, open and inter-disciplinary intellectual traditions of Scots Law. As such the School aims to build a vibrant community of world-leading educators and researchers, and to ensure that its research has reach and impact, locally as well as globally. We offer a wide range of degree programmes from the LLB to the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, the LLM to the PhD. We also offer programmes by online distance learning providing a flexible learning platform for those who can't study on campus. We are one of the largest communities of legal scholars in Europe and one of the biggest law schools in the United Kingdom and are committed to nurturing outstanding researchers at all stages of their careers. We are a collective of internationally-oriented research communities rooted in the open, civic-minded and interdisciplinary traditions of Scots law. Our ambition is to set scholarly agendas that effect civic change across our core fields of public and private, international and European law, as well as in law-related and interdisciplinary research in socio-legal studies, law and technologies, and criminology. Research and teaching at Edinburgh are intimately connected. Our research expertise informs our extensive programmes of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and learning. Our students learn in a research-led environment, at an institution with an indisputable research reputation, and on programmes designed to encourage them to explore the key research issues in each field. Our people produce an extraordinary range of scholarly and policy-oriented publications and they shape legal, policy, and social changes in Scotland, Europe, and beyond. We welcome enquiries from anyone wishing to study or research with us and please do visit our website for a full overview of our community.
