Master of Law - General

A master's degree in law is a fantastic way for law graduates to develop a specialisation or for non-lawyers working in related fields to gain a deeper understanding of legal issues.

Since the law is a vast and diverse subject, UEL offers a huge amount of flexibility in this general LLM programme. Students will also have the option of taking one of their specialist pathways that focus on different topics.

The pathways align with UEL's major research strengths in areas like legal education, international legal research, and human rights – but students can study modules from all these areas if they opt for the general LLM. Alongside the optional modules, students may choose to either write a 15,000-word dissertation or conduct a work-based project that will give them valuable experience in dealing with a specific legal issue in detail.

The course is perfect for lawyers and law graduates looking for career development, although all of the LLM courses can be studied by students without a background in law since students will be trained in the necessary analytical and legal skills.
