Frequently Asked Questions
Am I able to study on a part-time basis?
All our LLM routes are available on a part-time basis. The LLM (Canon Law) and the LLM (Legal Aspects of Medical Practice) are delivered over residential weekends. Students may also study for MPhil and PhD degrees part-time.
What fees will I be required to pay?
Information about tuition fees is available from the University’s web pages.
Is financial assistance available?
Cardiff Law School offers financial assistance to students undertake research degrees. At present, there is no financial assistance available for students studying on LLM programmes. Cardiff University offers financial assistance to postgraduate students, as well as advice about seeking sources of funding.
How will I be taught and assessed?
The methods of teaching and assessment will vary according to the programme upon which you are registered; some modules are taught across both semesters of the academic year, others, particularly the part-time programmes, may be concentrated into one semester. Teaching is delivered by lectures, seminars and workshops. Modules are assessed by means of a substantial essay on an approved topic,
although students will be able to obtain feedback on their progress by completing formative (unassessed) work. For further details, please click on the programme links on the left of this page.
Am I guaranteed a place in University residences?
All overseas/EU postgraduate students are guaranteed a single occupancy place in University residences if they submit an online application and make a pre-payment in line with the deadline date relevant to that session. Unfortunately we are unable to guarantee UK postgraduates a place in University residences. For further information on the guarantee of residences, University residences and associated residences fees, please visit the Residences web site.
