Law and Human Resource Management - BA (Hons)

University of Strathclyde

There are a number of ways you can study law at Strathclyde, one such way being the BA degree in combination with another subject. Please note that studying Law within the 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 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 as part of a broader education.

We also offer some of the best teaching in Human Resource Management (HRM) in both Scotland and the UK

The Department of Work, Employment & Organisation is an accredited centre for teaching HRM. This means our postgraduate courses give students graduate membership of the leading professional body for HR managers – the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

HRM is about the relationship between employers and employees and the ways in which people are managed in the workplace. This covers recruitment and selection, training and developing and managing conflict at work. These are an essential part of the management process in all organisations.

Ranked Top 10 in the UK for Law (The Times/Sunday Times University Ranking 2025).

This course is part of our flexible BA Humanities and Social Science Degree programme. With our BA (Honours) degree you can choose from subjects in Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, with two of your three subject choices taught by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

The BA degree is a three year course and the Honours degree is normally a four year course. This allows you to try new subjects, develop your own ideas, develop a broad range of knowledge and enhance your employability.

You should only enter one of the UCAS codes on your application form. Acceptance on one of these subject codes will enable you to study any combination of subjects. Only one application will be considered. This is lifted from page 50 of the prospectus.
