Can I study law in Scotland and then train as a solicitor in England?

I'm thinking of going to Glasgow University and was wondering if you had to have an English Law degree to train as a solicitor.

You can study in Scotland, but you will have to do the GDL and LPC in order to train as a solicitor in England, since the systems are different. What I would suggest is to apply for a degree in Scots and English Law which is offered by the University of Dundee and Strathclyde, which would make it easier (and perhaps give you a better edge) for you to become a solicitor in England.
