The LLM in Legal Theory and History programme draws on the expertise of Queen Mary to offer an advanced training in legal theory and legal history. The modules offered allow students the chance to explore a variety of theoretical approaches to law, including comparative, feminist and literary ones. It also provides an essential grounding in the sources and methods for the modern history of law, offering a range of modules on English legal history.
Students on the programme will take three full modules (or equivalent half modules), selected from the range of modules offered in each year. These modules will be run in the first two terms of the year. They will also be required to write a 15,000 word Masters dissertation, on a subject of their choice which has been agreed with a supervisor, and which will be submitted in August.
