We provide you with the opportunity to study law from a truly international perspective and offer a diverse range of interesting units. You also have a unique opportunity to get involved in a range of collaborative and individual projects covering various areas of law via our Centre for Research in Law (CRiL).
Careers
For many students, the achievement of a specialised Master of Laws (LLM) is regarded as a significant means of enhancing career prospects within the legal profession. Most graduates continue with their careers as company legal advisers, practising solicitors and, in some cases, barristers within their own jurisdictions. Some students go on to pursue further academic study through MPhil or PhD qualifications.
Q&A
Dr Mohammad Alramahi
Principal Lecturer in Law, and PG Law Portfolio Leader
How will a postgraduate qualification enhance students’ professional careers?
Throughout the LLM, the focus is on the identification, analysis, evaluation and application of legal and regulatory principles. Embedding these transferable skills within the course is a conscious decision to not only develop academic thinking, but also to prepare students for the demands that will be encountered in professional practice. The wide range of assessments enables our students to develop a range of communication skills, both as individuals and as a group.
Did you know?
As part of your final Capstone project and in addition to our traditional Law Dissertation option, you have the opportunity to choose Law Live Project, which brings you into contact with the reality of professional legal practice and how it operates. By engaging in a live project, you can apply your existing knowledge to real-life cases, and use critical evaluation and reflection to propose appropriate courses of action to a client.
