Program Description

Program Description

  • This is an on-campus and thesis-based program.
  • This program begins in the month of October each year and finishes by the end of June month.
  • The LLM, as a master's degree, is intended for those who wish to pursue further legal studies after completing their first degree in law, including those who are considering an academic career or intending to practice law. 
  • Students take 4 courses of their choice from the list of available LLM course offerings.
  • Each course is assessed by a 3-hour written examination at the end of the LLM year, although students may elect to write a full dissertation in lieu of the written examination for one course.
  • Teaching typically comprises 16 two-hour seminars and/or lectures for each of a student's 4 courses. 
  • Provision is normally also made for discussion in smaller groups.
  • There are no formal practicals, but all students are expected to undertake substantial amounts of reading and private study for each of their 4 courses and may be required to produce written work in preparation for some classes.
  • Currently, some LLM courses provide the option of assessment by a shorter essay plus a 2-hour examination, rather than the more typical 3-hour examination or full dissertation.
  • After completing this degree program students can proceed to higher education.
  • The University of Cambridge ranks 3rd for Master of Law according to QS World Ranking 2019.
