The course is suitable for you if you are:
Expert legal team
You’ll be taught by leading academics who carry out research in a variety of areas including international law and human rights, corporate and commercial law, law and society, and more. They have expert, detailed knowledge of the legal landscape and technicalities, and are abreast of current developments around the world. This ensures that what we teach you about legal, jurisprudential, and socio-legal issues is always informed by the latest practice. You'll find your tutors are accessible to you. They are committed to delivering innovative, inspiring teaching and focussed on providing excellent student support.
A tailored approach
From human rights breaches to commercial disputes and breaches of regulations, law permeates all spheres and sectors. On this course you will have the flexibility and freedom to choose modules that match your interests and ambitions, without necessarily committing to a particular area or cluster of laws.
In your dissertation, you will carry out your own investigation and analysis to bring fresh insight into a key legal question or issue that fascinates you. To do this you’ll use your knowledge of theoretical approaches to the study of law, and you’ll receive guidance on research design and ethics from your academic supervisor.
Previous students have chosen topics such as terrorism, breaches of human rights in the garments industry, and legal issues in VR and the metaverse.
Boost your career
You will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with the public in our Legal Advice Clinic. And we’ll ensure you have the opportunity to build your professional network via our strong links to chambers and law firms across the UK, including Magic Circle firms in London.
Whether you wish to advance your existing career or start a new journey into a law-focused career, or even follow the path of advanced academic study, the LLM Law programme will prepare you through developing your skills and expertise in law and legal studies.
