The programme is supported by two core compulsory 30-credit modules which act as the foundation of the programme, one in Semester A and one in Semester B. These modules are:
This module covers 'Reporting Cases', 'Facts and Character', and 'Reasoning with Precedent'.
This module covers ‘Common Law and Constitutional Politics’; ‘Colonialism, Imperialism, and Common Law’; and ‘Private Justice in Common Law’ across ten seminars.
In addition to these two compulsory taught modules, the programme includes a 60-credit compulsory 15,000 word Dissertation.
The LLM is research intensive, allowing students to develop their research skills, while also becoming familiar with the common law tradition.
We only allow one application from our range of LLM programmes so please ensure you apply for your main programme of interest.
