Overview

On our LLM Law course, you’ll develop an advanced understanding of the legal frameworks that underpin our world order today through our pathways:

LLM International Law
LLM Human Rights Law
LLM International Commercial Law and Trade
LLM Global Business and Human Rights.

You’ll learn how to leverage laws to drive positive change across global communities.

The refugee crisis. Sustainable development. Human rights. Global conflicts. You’ll explore the legalities behind some of the biggest global challenges. You’ll emerge from the master’s course with a unique skill set and perspectives that cross legal silos. This will truly set you apart as an expert in your field. You'll also have an opportunity to undertake pro bono volunteer work to gain valuable experience.

You’ll explore the workings of powerful global actors - like the World Bank and the UN. You’ll also have the freedom to explore areas of international law that interest you most, from global development to international human rights systems. You can start your LLM course in January or September, the choice is yours.

Career prospects

Graduates from the LLM progress to an impressive range of careers. Many of our graduates are now policymakers, human rights activists, judges, and commercial lawyers.

You’ll know how to challenge complex legal problems using new ideas and innovative thinking, and have a clear understanding of the motivations driving new and old legislation.

We’ll help you decide what your next steps should be.

Pursuing an academic career in law

Research is fundamental to the Law School and is one of the reasons we performed so well in the last REF. Your own interests will be reflected in the modules you choose and many students feel moved to continue their academic studies and become specialists themselves. Several former LLM students have chosen to become researchers, publishing and lecturing on their work and graduating to do a PhD.

Students can also exit with Pgdip awards.
