Hide-The LLM (Global Legal Studies) masters degree provides graduates with an advanced and systematic understanding of specialised subject areas, affording an ideal platform for students to acquire expertise and knowledge informed by research-led teaching. The programme facilitates career pathways in law, business, politics, non-governmental organisations, and policymaking bodies at the national and international levels.
The distinct international focus of the programme reflects the increasingly global nature of legal practice. The modules offered are distinguished by the approach taken, which is to focus not on a national or regional jurisdiction, but to address these issues from the point of view of foundational (global) principles and to illustrate these with examples from jurisdictions all over the world.
In addition, certain modules on the programme are run in partnership with leading law firms, offering students the opportunity to apply for work placements at the end of their studies.

Hide-Students must complete 90 credits in total, taking 35 taught credits in semester 1 and 30 taught credits in semester 2. A taught Professional Development module and a 25-credit dissertation are the only compulsory elements of the programme.
Not all modules offered will run every year, offerings are dependent upon demand and other potential constraints. Students may choose any combination of modules they wish. Please note that some modules will have prerequisites attached to them.
Students also have the option of graduation with a Postgraduate Diploma instead of an LLM. The structure of the Postgraduate Diploma follows that of the LLM’s structure, but students do not complete a dissertation.

Certain modules on the programme are run in partnership with leading law firms, offering students the opportunity to apply for work placements at the end of their studies.

The insights gained from studying law in a global context will also be of benefit to those seeking careers in areas like financial services, policy-making and business.
