LLM
Legal Practice This distance learning LLM award is for those with professional legal qualifications; for example, the BPTC or LPC (or their precursors). Credit points are awarded for these professional qualifications, and students can then top-up these points with a dissertation or publishable article to gain this LLM.
Introductory programme The introductory programme includes guidance on research methods and legal writing. All of our students will undertake the introductory programme by distance learning. Dissertation In line with our existing LLM courses, students have the freedom to choose their dissertation topic, subject to the capacity of the Law School to provide expert academic supervision. The Law School has academic staff with wide-ranging expertise across diverse areas of law. However, students are encouraged to consider areas of law that are particularly pertinent to their anticipated or actual area of practice when selecting their chosen topic. The dissertation is 18,000-20,000 words in length. Publishable article As an alternative to the dissertation, students can – with guidance from an experienced academic – produce an article of publishable quality. This is likely to be of shorter length than the dissertation, focusing on a particular point of practice or law.
