Course summary

A master's degree in law is a fantastic way for law graduates to develop a specialisation, or for non-lawyers working in related fields to gain a deeper understanding of legal issues.Since the law is a vast and diverse subject, we offer a huge amount of flexibility in this general LLM programme. You also have the option of taking one of our specialist pathways that focus on different topics (see related courses below).This general LLM is designed to give you freedom over the topics you study. As a result, the only core module is the 'Dissertation or Work-Based Project' and the rest of your course will consist of modules that you select from an extensive list.The four available pathways (Business & Financial Law, Human Rights Advocacy, International Law & Legal Practice, Transitional Justice & Conflict) give you an indication of the prominent themes and specialisations in our law department, and this LLM enables you to place focus on the areas that interest you in this diverse field.All our LLM courses are taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, and workshops. We extensively use problem-based learning, class discussion, and case studies to ensure our teaching is brought to life, while all our lectures are issued as podcasts to give you greater access to learning resources and allow you to revisit specific classes.If you already have a law career then this course gives you the chance to specialise with focused, professional training in the fields that interest you.The course provides the opportunity to undertake a work-based project so you can gain practical experience and build professional links, while our renowned Law Clinic enables you to work on real legal cases with local people to enhance your clinical skills.
