Where can I study the Diploma?

There are six accredited providers offering the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice. These are as follows:

• The University of Aberdeen
• The University of Dundee
• The University of Edinburgh 
• The University of Glasgow
• The University of Strathclyde 
• Robert Gordon University

Each provider offers a slightly different way of teaching the Diploma so it is important you do your research to understand which provider is right for you. Spaces on the Diploma are competitive and the number of applicants each year always outweighs the number of places available. Each provider has a dedicated course page where you can find out more details about studying the Diploma. 

Differences between providers

 Although many of the compulsory modules will be similar, each Diploma course will offer different compulsory modules and electives and will vary in terms of options and timetables. We recommend taking time to research the different universities offering the Diploma to ensure you are making an informed decision as to where you are going to apply.

We run a Virtual Diploma Fair annually to allow you to compare providers. This is now open for you to view.  If you have any specific questions for Diploma providers, we recommend you get in touch with them directly.
