Specialised LLM Routes
We currently offer the following specialised routes within our overall LLM programme:
- LLM (Canon Law) - part-time only
- LLM (European Legal Studies)
- LLM (Governance and Devolution)
- LLM (Human Rights Law)
- LLM (International Commercial Law)
- LLM (Law and Governance of the European Union)
- LLM (Legal and Political Aspects of International Affairs)
- LLM (Legal Aspects of Medical Practice) - part-time only
- LLM (Social Care Law)
With the exception of Canon Law and Legal Aspects of Medical Practice, all routes are available both full-time and part-time.
By studying modules from one of the specialised routes and completing the dissertation in that area, students can tailor their studies to their own
professional and/or employment needs.
Alternatively, students may pursue the non-specialised Master of
Laws route by studying any of the approved modules and completing a 15,000 word dissertation in a subject of their own choice approved by the School. The dissertation provides an opportunity to research a legal topic of particular interest to you.
All students are provided with training in postgraduate research skills to develop their independent legal analysis, research and writing. Completion of the LLM programme meets the CPD requirements of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Bar Standards Board.
