Location of University College Cork
The LLM degree has been offered by UCC Law Faculty since 1992 and remains a very popular vehicle for postgraduate study at the Faculty. Students may either focus their interest in one area, for example business or international law, or choose from a broad variety of legal subject.
The LLM Degree also provides students with the opportunity to pursue a thesis in their area of interest under the supervision of dedicated and experienced lecturers. The LLM degree provides students with a high-quality, broadly based postgraduate experience where a commitment to academic excellence is combined with a commitment to developing student appreciation of the practical and policy implications of law.

The LLM (Mode A) Degree at UCC offers students a wide choice of options in areas ranging from Criminal, Medical and Human Rights Law to Internet, Environmental and Intellectual Property Law. Students may choose to specialise in one or two chosen areas of interest or may prefer to sample modules from across the broad range of possibilities.
In addition to their chosen modules all LLM students pursue an individually supervised minor thesis in an area of interest to them. As part of the preparation for their thesis, students take a course on research methodology. This opportunity allows students to learn advanced research methods and to make a presentation on their thesis topic.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
