Study a programme designed to give you the greatest flexibility to pursue advanced legal study in any area that you wish.

Our Law LLM programme allows you to study across the legal spectrum without focussing on one specific area of Law.

It aims to offer you the knowledge and expertise to allow you to contribute more fully to your chosen profession through the development of intellectual competence and postgraduate skills.

You can follow any of the modules available in the year of study from the lists of the specialised LLM programmes, and complete a dissertation.

Career prospects

A law degree doesn’t restrict you to a career within the legal profession and law graduates enter professions as diverse as finance, sales and marketing, digital communications and recruitment.

We are committed to extending extracurricular opportunities to you, helping to enhance your CVs in a competitive graduate job market. We work in partnership with lawyers, charities and voluntary organisations to give you the opportunity to practise and extend your skills and we run several Pro Bono schemes and provide advice to members of the community on different legal issues.

If you successfully complete the LLM programme you may have the opportunity to continue your legal study through the School’s PhD programme or through the Centre for Professional Legal Studies professional programmes (the Legal Practice Course or Bar Professional Training Course).
