Law Masters (LLM) degrees are increasingly seen by employers as a means to distinguish applicants. If you are looking to study a Master’s in Law course that can be specifically tailored to your interests and career aspirations, our prestigious LLM General degree is an excellent choice.

UEA Law School is housed in the historic Earlham Hall. You will be given the freedom to choose any combination of LLM modules from the extensive selection on offer, ranging from subjects relevant to international trade and commerce to corporate governance; from international competition law to intellectual property and information technology law; and to more socio-legal subjects, such as the protection of privacy and reputation.
