Program Description

The LLM Law and Society adopts a pathway structure which gives you the opportunity to tailor your degree to your individual interests and professional needs.All students study three compulsory core 15-credit modules on research in law and society (45 credits), which introduces you to the research skills and critical analysis necessary for the successful completion of a master’s programme, with a particular focus on interdisciplinary socio-legal research methods.To obtain the master’s qualification, all students must successfully complete 180 credits, which includes researching and writing up a dissertation (60 credits) on a topic of your choice, which you'll prepare for throughout the course. You then have flexibility to make up the remaining 75 credits by choosing either a general pathway (Pathway 1) or the research-intensive pathway (Pathway 2).Students on Pathway 1 must study either qualitative or quantitative research and data methods (15 credits), then have freedom to choose from a broad and diverse selection of modules. Whereas on Pathway 2, you must study both qualitative and quantitative research and data methods, as well as a module on ethics in research (45 credits) before choosing any optional modules, which is ideal if you intend to pursue a PhD and wish to apply for PhD funding. You will be given the opportunity to choose your elective modules and discuss your choices with the Course Director during the first week of the programme.The LLM can be studied as either a one-year full-time or two-year part-time course, with a September start date. It is also possible to study more flexibly part-time on a modular basis, accumulating degree credits by taking individual modules over a period of maximum of five years. The information below outlines a one-year full-time study schedule.
