Course Overview

You can study law at Strathclyde in several ways, one being the BA degree in combination with another subject. Please note that studying law with a BA degree will not qualify you for entry into the legal profession. For professional qualifications in law, students follow the LLB programme.

Law is concerned with the study of the obligations, duties and rights every member of society has about one another and the state. The study of law is regarded not as purely vocational but as part of a broader education. You'll develop an awareness of the law and the legal implications of business operations which are sought after by employers.

Following the recent global economic crisis, economics is more important and relevant than ever. Decisions on money, banking, interest rates, taxation and government spending affect us all, with global consequences. Economics aims to understand the activities of the different economic agents – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together.

Our degree will allow you to explain complex data in simple terms to different audiences. You’ll also develop excellent mathematical, statistical and problem-solving skills.

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen topic (s).
