Intellectual Property (IP) law is a rapidly evolving field and a highly sought after specialisation. We offer one of the most comprehensive LLM programmes in Intellectual Property Law. Our programme delves into the legal frameworks that safeguard intellectual creations and provides advanced knowledge on a wide array of IP frameworks in both domestic and international settings. We ensure that our students gain a deep understanding of IP law and policy, preparing them for diverse and rewarding career opportunities.Why choose this programme?Our specialism covers IP law in depth and consider the theories and justifications surrounding it. You will learn from specialists in this field who bring cutting edge research to the forefront of our modules, ensuring that students are learning and engaging with current issues and controversies.UCL is one of only a few UK universities to belong to the prestigious Pan-European Seal (PES) Professional Traineeship Programme – a partnership with Europe’s leading Intellectual Property (IP) organisations: the European Patent Office (EPO) and the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Students who have completed the IP Law LLM at UCL are eligible to apply for a 12-month paid traineeship at either the EUIPO or the EPO after they graduate.
Entrants to the UCL LLM programme must have ‘a good 2.1 with evidence of 1st class ability (or equivalent in other jurisdictions), and must provide evidence in their application of motivation, reasoning and analytical ability and communication skills. Please refer to the UCL Graduate Prospectus for international equivalent qualifications.
‘A good 2.1 shall normally mean an average of at least 65% (or equivalent in other jurisdictions) across all years of study, and ‘evidence of 1st class ability shall normally mean at least one 1st class mark (or equivalent in other jurisdictions) over the entire degree.
We may be willing to consider applicants who are close to, but do not meet these quantitative criteria, where space on the programme allows. Such applicants must demonstrate that they excel in motivation, analytical and reasoning ability and communication skills. This needs to be demonstrated across the personal statement and the written work. Applicants with less than an average of 62% (or equivalent in other jurisdictions) across all years of study will not normally be considered under these criteria.
You need a law qualification to be considered for the LLM, i.e. Bachelor of Laws (LLB), Juris Doctor (JD), Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL). In very exceptional circumstances, graduates without a law qualification but with work experience will be considered, although this is a very uncommon route to the programme. In these instances, experience must be relevant and a minimum of five years.
