LLM Law - Law and Globalisation

Programme overview

The Law and Globalisation LLM programme examines the international legal framework, trade, employment and human rights, from both a practical and a theoretical standpoint. It is suitable for those who want to explore these issues from a broad perspective, both economic and socio-political.

We offer an exciting and stimulating set of postgraduate law programmes, each of which prepares you for a variety of careers. If you are interested in studying law beyond your undergraduate degree level and want to develop your analytical, research and legal writing skills, you will find Bristol’s LLM to be a challenging and rewarding experience. We have a large and vibrant international community and our LLM students benefit from small class sizes taught by world-renowned experts.

Our LLM programmes give you the opportunity to specialise in a particular area but you can also opt for a broader and more general set of unit choices. In all cases, you are encouraged to explore your chosen areas of law at a deeper level. You will have the chance to see how these legal fields operate in different contexts, considering the relevant issues theoretically and practically and from a range of perspectives.

Careers

Students have gone on to work in law firms that specialise in human rights or business law, for international NGOs and for governance organisations. Some graduates go on to further study or research at the University of Bristol or other leading universities.
