    LLM Law

    About

    The LLM (Master of Law) equips you with advanced knowledge and expertise in specialist areas of law, empowering you to pursue a diverse range of legal careers, or PhD study, in the UK and internationally.

    • The LLM Law has a rich programme of activities. You’ll have the chance to learn from workshops and visits to many of the UK’s leading institutions such as the Royal Courts of Justice, UK Supreme Court and Houses of Parliament, and gain practical experience through taking placements and law clinic modules (for credit).
    • We’re focused on employability, and the programme has been developed with feedback from employers and legal practices. Our central Careers Service is here to support you every step of the way.
    • You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with renowned legal scholars, eminent legal practitioners and NGOs who co-teach on or lead our modules, embedding advanced legal theory and professional practice.
    • You’ll learn from important legal thinkers, internationally leading barristers and politicians. Our law faculty and Visiting Professors are some of the greatest legal minds of our generation.
    • You’ll gain a holistic understanding of law. Visits to law-related exhibitions, film screenings and theatre productions will demonstrate how present law is in our society.
