What you will study

Students build their own programme from the full range of Masters law electives, with no designated core modules. The LLM/PgDip has six 20-credit electives (examples: International Human Rights Law, International Migration Law, Financial Regulation and Compliance, The Law of the World Trade Organisation, International Climate Change Law) plus a 60-credit dissertation, enhanced research proposal, professional internship or professional project. Choosing three modules in Alternative Dispute Resolution, Human Rights Law or International Environmental Law allows a named specialisation.

Career pathways

The degree develops employability skills but does not qualify graduates to enter the legal profession. Graduates of similar Law School postgraduate programmes have become company directors, HR consultants, a legal services trainee at the Council of the European Union and a researcher at the World Trade Organisation.
