Law with options in Mandarin at Aberdeen gives you all the benefits of our trademark quality at Aberdeen Law School with the added advantage of a major modern global language, adding further advantage to your career prospects and widening your options especially in international affairs and business.

Law at Aberdeen looks at the historical, social, political and economic forces that influence our legal systems and govern our societies. You will learn to think like a lawyer rather than just 'learn' law.

A major factor in our quality is the calibre and enthusiasm of our staff, testing your mental agility with complex, realistic legal scenarios as you get to grips with criminal, public and private law, legal systems, contracts, human rights and explore family law, the law of property and legal aspects of the EU.

Throughout your programme, you will study courses in Mandarin language and add this extremely useful skill to your growing competence in law. You will have many opportunities to hone your developing legal skills in student-led initiatives, such as mock legal debating, our highly active Law Society, the students’ journal, in which your work may be published, and our community law clinic – the Aberdeen Law Project.

Should you choose to practice law, you will have a wide variety of career options within legal professions. However, more than a third of Aberdeen law graduates now choose to use their law degree as a passport for entry into a wide range of careers including business - for which you will have a language advantage - finance and banking, teaching, governmental bodies and departments and the police force.

Students wishing to transfer from another University, into the LLB degree at Aberdeen must submit an application to UCAS by the equal consideration deadline date. The University of Aberdeen will only consider transfer requests into year 1 or year 2 of the LLB. Students cannot transfer into the 2-year LLB Accelerated degree.

Graduates wishing to apply for an LLB must apply for the 2-year LLB Accelerated degree – Law Accelerated (M115) or Law with English Law Accelerated (M116). Tuition fees for the Accelerated programmes are at a separate rate. In the event that a Graduate undertakes a 4-year or 5-year LLB degree, please note that tuition fees are charged each year of study at the same rate as those set for the Accelerated programme.
