English Law — Accelerated

The University of Dundee offers an innovative and comprehensive Accelerated LLB Law program designed for students who wish to pursue a legal career with an intensive and focused approach. This program allows academically qualified students to complete their law degree in a shorter period, typically in two years instead of the traditional three, providing a fast-track into the legal profession. The curriculum is carefully structured to cover all fundamental areas of law, including constitutional law, criminal law, contract law, property law, and EU law, alongside specialized modules that reflect current legal practices and developments. Throughout the course, students benefit from a blend of theoretical legal education and practical skills development, equipping them to succeed in the legal environment.

The program emphasizes critical thinking, analytical skills, and legal research, preparing students for a wide range of legal careers, including solicitor or barrister roles, legal consultancy, or further postgraduate studies. The accelerated nature of the program means students engage with the same rigorous academic standards as traditional programmes but within a condensed timeframe, requiring dedication and excellent time management skills. The university offers state-of-the-art facilities, including dedicated law libraries, modern learning resources, and access to online legal databases, ensuring students are well-supported throughout their studies.

Students have opportunities for hands-on experience through mooting, internships, and legal clinics, fostering practical understanding and networking within the legal community. Additionally, the program benefits from experienced faculty members who are active in legal research and practice, providing expert insights and mentorship. Upon graduation, students are awarded an LLB Law degree, which offers eligibility for admission to the Legal Practice Course (LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC), depending on their career aspirations. The university's strong links with legal firms and institutions also facilitate placement opportunities and career development support. This Accelerated Law program is ideal for ambitious students seeking a rigorous, intensive education that sets the foundation for a successful legal career and accelerates their professional journey in the legal sector.
