Contents
The programme will be taught by UNYP in full-time mode only which will comprise a one-year diet of study. There will be two teaching terms and the third term (including the summer) will be devoted to the student producing a supervised dissertation.
The program has been specifically designed for working professionals, with lectures running over the weekends. This structure has the least impact on current working commitments. The teaching model is designed to give students more time to reflect on the content of their courses and to engage more effectively in private study. The structure allows for the spread of contact hours over six weekends per course and gives students the opportunity to read material in advance of classes and prepare for more interactive sessions during their weekend contact time.
In addition UNYP will timetable a minimum one week visit to the Greenwich University during the academic year in order to enable students to avail themselves of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies Library in London as part of their dissertation research
The LL.M programme comprises two taught core courses and one taught option course selected from a range of options (90 credits in total), as well as a significant research component involving a dissertation of 15,000 words in length (60 credits) and two compulsory research skills/methodology courses (15 credits each). The two latter modules comprise:
* Foundations for Postgraduate Study
* Research Methods in Law
The two taught core courses (30 credits each) are:
* Public International Law
* Corporate Law
The following option courses (30 credits each) will also be available:
* International Trade Law
* Intellectual Property Law
* International Human Rights Law
* Competition Law
* International Criminal Law
Teaching and Assessment
The program includes a combination of lectures and participatory and problem-solving sessions led by specialist teachers. Students on the program have access to interactive law-learning software and a large number of dedicated electronic law resources, such as LexisNexis, Westlaw and Lawtel.
