Our LLM programme provides the ideal platform for you to develop expertise in specialist subject areas, and benefit from research-led teaching from the people who are recognised as experts in their field.

Through the wide variety of taught modules we offer you can explore your intellectual interests freely or choose to specialise in a particular area of legal research.
