In the face of global challenges, from climate change to disruptive digital technology, the need for innovative and sustainable legal solutions has never been greater. Our Advanced Legal Research LLM is a unique postgraduate course designed to produce outstanding professional legal researchers who will generate professional, academic, policy-focused and creative research in response to the needs, problems and challenges of today and tomorrow.
Legal research is a field with a number of job opportunities, but the route to a career in legal research can often be unclear. This practical course seeks to address this gap by teaching you both the theory and practice of conducting advanced legal research. Youll develop a broad foundation of the skills and knowledge required to become an agile researcher, whether you wish to progress onto further research through a PhD or apply your learning to a research role in a variety of sectors.
While the broad nature of the course will allow you to apply your research skills to a variety of fields, the final project will give you the opportunity to specialise in an area of your choosing through writing a dissertation or producing a more creative project through multimedia or other non-traditional methods.
This is a practical course focused on producing engaged professionals who, upon graduation, will contribute to societal change through impactful, solution-orientated legal research.
Course Structure:
The six core modules structure your learning around key dimensions of life as an advanced legal researcher, helping you to develop an understanding of cutting-edge legal perspectives and build key legal research skills. The range of option modules provides the opportunity to develop specialist doctrinal or theoretical knowledge in a particular area of interest, rounding out your development as an advanced legal researcher.
Careers:
This course provides a pathway to further advanced legal research, to specialist research positions within legal and nonlegal professional spaces, to positions within policy and the creative industries, and to collaborations between legal research and emerging areas of the economy.
A minimum of a lower second class honours degree (2:2) in related disciplines, including law and social science. Applicants without the standard qualifications who have significant professional experience in the relevant field or related professional qualifications may be considered.
