• Discuss some of the main aspects of a Law degree & student life
• List all the universities in Scotland that currently offer the LLB (Bachelor of Laws degree).
• List the main subject(s) pupils will need to sit when they get to senior phase
• Understand, to a basic level, the application process for Law.
• Discuss career options, including continuing on to professional practice.
• Recall basic information about the support offered by Reach Edinburgh
