As an English student at Strathclyde you'll enjoy the best of old and new: a grounding in the classics as well as an insight into new fields of literature. We'll show you how exciting and wide-ranging our subject can be. Employers like the skills developed in an English degree: written and verbal communication, analysis and discussion of ideas, and broad, creative thinking. There's a number of ways you can study Law at Strathclyde. You can study the BA degree or in combination with another subject. For professional qualifications in Law students follow the LLB programme. Law involves the study of the obligations, duties and rights which every member of society has in relation to one another and to the State. The study of Law is regarded not as purely vocational, but part of a broader education. Please note that studying Law within the BA degree will not qualify you for entry to the legal profession. Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are broad-based to start with. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen subject(s).

English graduates from Strathclyde include TV journalists, councillors, the Scottish novelist Andrew O’Hagan and former head of the Scottish Arts Council James Boyle. An English degree helps graduates find work in areas such as publishing, the civil service, administration and creative writing. Graduates who have studied Law with another subject find jobs in government services, commerce and industry, banking and insurance, management and administration. Knowledge of the legal implications of business practice is valuable. Some graduates continue to an accelerated graduate LLB degree, usually with the aim of entering the legal profession.
