Location of Oxford Brookes University
The LLM (Legal Practice) enables LPC graduates and others to gain a higher degree by using a programme structure that fits in with your career. You may commence the programme by studying for the LPC at the Oxford Institute of Legal Practice at Oxford Brookes before progressing on to the research modules.
Alternatively, the programme structure has been designed to allow solicitors, barristers and those about to enter the professions to convert their LPC, Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) or other equivalent professional qualification into a master's level qualification. In this case, you will commence the programme at Part Two.
Why Brookes?
OXILP prides itself on the level of one-to-one support it can offer its students. Due to its relatively small size, in premises centred in and around Headington Hill Hall, OXILP has a friendly, collegial atmosphere where students are treated as individuals.
Contents
The programme has three component parts:
Part One consists of the completion of a recognised legal vocational course, either the LPC or BPTC or equivalent.
Part Two consists of a course in Advanced Legal Research Methods. The course is taught for two weeks in late June or early July and culminates with your submission of a detailed written research proposal of up to 2,000 words by 30 September.
Part Three consists of researching and writing a dissertation of up to 12,000 words on the agreed area of legal practice set out in the research project.
NB As courses are reviewed regularly, details may vary from that shown here.
Teaching, learning and assessment
The research methods course will be taught in seminars and workshops. Supervision and group discussions will be provided to support students through the writing of their dissertations.
