Course overview

An excellent opportunity for non-law graduates to study law at postgraduate level and to gain legal knowledge and transferable skills which will benefit you in the workplace and/or further study.

The LLM Applied enhances your knowledge of the fundamental principles of law, combined with the flexibility to explore your own interests with support from research-active teaching staff. The underlying philosophy of this course is to enable you to continue your professional, educational and personal development by consolidating, enhancing and extending your disciplinary expertise, professional ethics, experience and abilities.

The Applied route enables you to work directly with an organisation, applying and demonstrating the knowledge and skills you have learned during the first stage of your course

You gain a grounding in key legal principles which will be applicable to you in your everyday lives and future careers. The nature of the course enables non-law graduates to develop a sound knowledge and understanding of select areas of UK law and its real-world application at postgraduate level.

The Applied Practice module enables you to apply your learning to real legal problems. You engage and share ideas and experiences with a body of students from a wide range of levels and backgrounds through the shared teaching across this course. This qualification does not provide qualifying/ exempting status for professional body purposes.

How you learn

Prior to the start of the taught modules, you will be provided with pre-course reading on the English legal system and will receive some taught input in the induction period on the English legal system and legal research skills.

The course will be delivered by the law team comprising academics and legal practitioners. Some sessions will be led by external speakers. Lectures will take place on all modules and you will also take part in smaller, interactive seminar group sessions. You will share some taught sessions with students on other courses.

The Applied Practice enables you to demonstrate learning and gain experience in the workplace. You identify and apply learning directly from your work experience placement to a specific work-related project.

How you are assessed

Assessments include conventional essays, presentations, reflections and a dissertation. You will receive both formative and summative feedback on your work.

Career opportunities

This masters level qualification is aimed at anyone looking to gain a grounding in areas of law and policy relevant to your career aspirations. You would be able to evidence knowledge and skills in areas relating to international trade, corporate and employment law as well as transferable skills relating to presentation, research and reflection. This qualification will provide graduates with a postgraduate UK law qualification thus facilitating the possibility of entry to further postgraduate study in law.
