The Combined Title LLM gives students the ability to choose any two areas of legal interest from the range of taught LLM specialisms available at Kent Law School to create their own personal joint combination LLM.
Students choose one subject area as their `major´ subject and study all three core modules required for that programme. They also chose a `minor´ subject and study any three modules offered for that programme (including but not restricted to core modules). Students also complete a supervised dissertation in either of the two areas.
This results in students being awarded with an LLM in one subject with another, for example an LLM in International Commercial Law with European Law (or any of the possible combinations available).
Contents
The Master's degrees offered within the Law School are taught by seminar and dissertation.
You take three modules in each of the first two terms. These are normally assessed by a single essay of 4-5,000 words for each module, but some modules make special arrangements for assessment, for example, by requiring two essays of 2-2,500 words, or by awarding up to 20% of the marks according to the quality of student participation.
In the third term and during the summer period, you write a 15-20,000 word dissertation, under the supervision of a member of academic staff. This should be on a specific topic within the field of the degree.
For all of the Law taught Master's degrees, there is the alternative of studying for a postgraduate diploma. Students registered for the diploma take the same modules as a Master's student, but do not write a dissertation.
