This LLM enables you to build your own customised degree by allowing you to pick from many of the modules offered across all specialisms. You will also be able to do an elective dissertation (30 credits) in any legal topic of your choice.

You don’t have to choose your modules until you have learnt about them in greater detail during your induction period. However, not all of the modules listed will be available in any one year and semesters listed can be subject to change.

We only allow one application from our range of LLM programmes so please ensure you apply for your main programme of interest. Please note you can request to change programme at offer stage via your MYSIS admissions portal and also request this after enrolment via the School of Law Taught Programme office.

If you would like your degree to show expertise in a specific area of law, you should apply for one of our specialised LLM programmes.

Depending on your chosen pathway, some of your modules may incur some additional costs (eg travel).

You will need to complete 180 credits in total, 30 credits of which can be by an elective dissertation of 10,000 words.
