International Law – (LL.M.)

Our LLM Programmes are designed to appeal to people from a variety of backgrounds and with a variety of interests ranging from recent undergraduates who wish to acquire specialist knowledge before starting their careers to practising lawyers who seek to compliment their day to day work with further study. Such a wide range of people require programmes to have flexibility to fit into busy lives. As the world continues to become smaller, due to the advent as newer formers of technology, International Law is increasingly becoming more important in this global market.

If you choose to study this named pathway then you will study two compulsory modules (Public International Law in Semester A and Conflicts of Law in Semester B) as well as two options (one each semester), to give you a total of four modules of study. The LLM’s assessment strategy is ideally suited to the needs of all students being assessed exclusively by coursework. We also provide an excellent level of pastoral and academic support for our students, including a Programme Director alongside the module tutors and also extensive research support through our research methods and skills course that runs throughout the year. Social events are organised on a regular basis.

For international students we have a dedicated International Student Support Tutor and all international students are provided with access to free English language classes throughout the academic year. At the commencement of your studies international students are provided with a two week full-time induction week, which will ensure you are fully up to date with the dynamics of the English Legal System and provide you with the best start possible prior to commencing your studies.
