What will I learn?

Our LLM by Research Thesis is a research proposal of a level commensurate with master's study.

According to recent data, 99% of our research is of international standing. (REF 2021, combining 4, 3 and 2 submissions – Law.)

Join a dynamic research environment in which to develop your individual research interests, with access to dedicated facilities, exceptional resources and expert supervision. You will benefit from becoming part of our thriving staff and student research community, and will have the opportunity to receive specialist career development advice and support.

The LLM by Research Thesis is an excellent basis for developing a PhD proposal.

Careers

A postgraduate law degree will open many doors for you, not only in specialised areas of employment, such as law firms, European and intergovernmental and nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), but also in academia (with further postgraduate study), the media (journalism and broadcasting), the civil service, and other branches of public service.

Graduates from our LLM programmes have gone on to work for a range of national and international law firms, as lawyers and as in-house legal counsel for large multinational companies in the UK and abroad, as well as international organisations and NGOs.
