LLM
Specialise with academic & practical depth
Our LLM programme is tailored for graduates who aspire to advance into international law, human rights, commercial practice or academia through research-informed teaching and rigorous assessment.
You select modules that match your ambitions while benefiting from dissertation supervision, legal writing clinics, and seminars delivered by faculty with UK and international experience.
Entry requires a law degree or equivalent, and we help you map your research interests to the options offered by the University of London's LLM pathway.
The image that once accompanied this section depicted collaborators dissecting research�this is the real experience:
- Faculty-led forums where students analyze comparative law questions together.
- Writing clinics focusing on polished articles, submissions, and policy notes.
- Research teams that keep you accountable while you develop interdisciplinary arguments.
Concentrate your expertise
International Law
Public international law, humanitarian law, and transnational governance.
Commercial Law
International business, commercial arbitration, banking, and securities regulation.
Human Rights
Advocacy for rights-based frameworks, refugee law, and strategic litigation.
Criminal Justice

Structured guidance for your dissertation
Supervisors help you refine questions, methods, and literature to produce a dissertation that can lead to publication or further research degrees.
You also gain access to online journals, writing mentors, and international electives to round off your postgraduate toolkit.
When the original page showed a focused student, imagine instead the rigorous support you actually receive:
- Regular supervisor check-ins that help keep your dissertation on track.
- Access to global databases and law journals for evidence-based arguments.
- A writing cohort that shares feedback on structure, citation, and legal narrative.
