This scheme provides a broad and flexible degree at postgraduate level offering a range of courses taught by both the School of Law and Department of Politics, Philosophy & Religion. There is no pre-requisite that students should have a background in either law or politics or international relations. However, the subjects are taught in depth, and students would be expected to do additional reading to make up for any gaps in basic knowledge. This degree is aimed to develop students' skills, ability and knowledge to the point where they would be competent to carry out independent research in this general field.
Students are required to take at least one of the designated Core Course Modules, depending on their previous studies or knowledge. They must take fivecourse modules in all, plus a dissertation. At least two of the modules must come from those taught in Law and at least two from Politics. A student taking 50% or more of the degree weighting (including the dissertation) in law topics is awarded an LLM, or if 50% or more is in politics, the degree is an MA Where the dissertation combines elements of law and politics, the Degree Director may decide the appropriate weighting.
The course modules offered within this programme are listed below. In addition, students may take one (or with permission of the Degree Director, two) modules, from among those offered within the other graduate programmes in Law or Politics, or any Master's modules of comparable weight offered in the Social Sciences Faculty or the University as a whole.
