Location of University of Strathclyde

Construction Law is a vibrant area of law involving a wide range of professionals. And since 1994, the University of Strathclyde has provided the Master of Laws (LLM) and Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) in Construction Law on an evening study basis over one or two years.

The master's degree in construction law provides extensive training and insights for lawyers and construction professionals with an interest in developing a thorough knowledge of construction law for practical application.

It is designed for lawyers seeking greater understanding of the processes and management of construction projects, as well as in depth legal expertise relating to such projects, and, construction professionals whose work involves them in any of the various stages of major construction projects from commissioning to completion.

Delivered by experts from the University and from the professions, the master's degree in Construction Law provides a unique opportunity to gain an invaluable postgraduate construction qualification from one of Scotland's leading Law Schools.


Contents

The PgDip programme requires the completion of six modules: four core construction law modules: one compulsory moduls for all postgraduate law students (in Legal Research Skills and Methods); and one elective module from the suite of courses offered by the Law School. the LL.M. programme requires the completion of a 15,000 word dissertation in addition to the above.

Some modules are taught by way of webcasted lectures, others are taught in a traditional face-to-face format. All core construction law modules and the compulsory Legal Research Skills and Methods module are taught in the evenings (normally 6-8pm) or by webcast. Many elective modules are also taught in the evening, though some are available in the day.
