Master of Laws (LLM)

The Master of Laws (LLM) is designed to provide an advanced level of study for both full-time students and those who are legal practitioners or engaged in other full- or part-time employment. Students may concentrate their study in particular areas of specialisation, or study a broad range of legal subjects.

The LLM by coursework offers law graduates an opportunity to study areas in greater depth and complexity than within a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme. Courses offered in the LLM by coursework programme combine a degree of sophistication or technical difficulty in terms of legal content with a substantial consideration of relevant interdisciplinary aspects of the subject matter and a focus on policy. Each course contains a significant research component.

The LLM by research offers graduates the opportunity to conduct indepth research in an area of personal interest to enhance future employment opportunities either professionally or academically.

There are two ways to conduct your LLM: 

LLM by research

LLM by taught courses
