Is Aberdeen Law with English Law LLB actually Dual-Qualifying?
Hi everyone! I'm thinking of maybe accepting this course, but I'm confused on if it's actually Dual-qualifying or just Scots Law with a few English Law modules. I heard from someone its not actually a dual-qualifying degree but I could find anyone else saying wether it is or not. Unlike with for example, the Dundee Dual Qualifying which explicitly says it qualifies in BOTH Scotland and England, I've not found anywhere for Aberdeen that explicitally states its a dual-qualifying degree, what it says:
"you will have all the necessary subjects to be able to proceed to the professional training stage in Scotland or in England and Wales. We are able to offer this choice by adjusting the number of choices which are available to you in your timetable."
Does this mean that depending on what modules you chose in your later years depicts where the degree qualifies, or do you need to take extra steps, or is it a dual-qualifying scots and english law degree? If anyone knows for sure please let me know

You don't need a LLB qualification to practice in England and Wales. You just have to pass the exams (SQE). The LLB qualification is necessary to practice law in Scotland. The degree is only the first step in practicing law in either Scotland or England and Wales and further study/pupillage at firms is required. The degree aims to allow you to practice in Scotland (hence the LLB), however, it also provides you with the support and knowledge you will need to obtain qualifications in England and Wales. TLDR: in England you don't need an LLB. Just need to pass relevant exams. In Scotland, you need the LLB as a prerequisite.

It allows you to be able to go on to qualify in Scotland or England, Wales and NI, like all law degrees you will have to study further after your degree to practice law. But with the Scots and English law degree you will be able to choose if u wish to practice in Scotland or elsewhere. The core modules meet all the relevant requirements for both countries.
