The usual qualification for entry to the LLM programme is a degree in law, or a degree with a substantial law content, normally of at least upper-second class honours (or equivalent).

Non-law graduates

Non-law graduates may be considered on the basis of exceptional professional experience that directly relates to specialist LLM taught courses.

* Non-law graduates with good honours, that have also obtained the equivalent of good honours in CPE and Bar Finals/Legal Practice examinations, or passed the solicitors qualifying examination, may qualify.
* Law graduates with high 2.2 honours and at least five years professional legal experience may also qualify.

English Language Requirements for the LLM

Students who submit a language score that does not meet the full language entry requirements of 7 overall 7 writing IELTS (or equivalent) will automatically be offered the appropriate pre-sessional language course as a condition of LLM entry if and where possible.

Funding

The School of Law is offering a total of twelve LLM scholarships. Of these twelve LLM scholarships, the Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) will award three overseas fee scholarships and three home/EU fee scholarships and the Department of Law will award three overseas fee scholarships and three home/EU fee scholarships.

You must have an offer of study for the LLM before you apply for a scholarship. You should therefore apply for the LLM as early as possible. Students who have not completed their application by 1 March 2012 will not be considered for a scholarship.
