LL.M.
(MASTER OF LAWS) COURSES WITH AN INTERNATIONAL
REPUTATION
LL.M.
in International Human Rights Law
is the oldest established human rights
law degree in the United Kingdom.
Its focus is on human rights in international
law rather than domestic systems.
Most of the professors teaching on
this course have held or currently
hold posts in the UN and other international
organisations.
LL.M.
in International Trade Law
looks at all aspects of trade at the
international level, and much of the
teaching is at the cutting edge of
scholarship, addressing issues that
are developing as the student is studying
them.
LL.M.
in European Community Law
addresses all aspects of the European
Community and European Union. Students
also have access to a range of courses
on the LLMs in International Trade
Law and in IT, Media and E-commerce.
Students have gone on to work in law
firms all over Europe, using their
specialist knowledge gained from experts
whose work is regularly cited in the
European Court of Justice and who
are called on to give advice by members
of the European Commission.
LL.M.
in Information Technology, Media and
E-Commerce admitted
its first students in October 2002.
The development of digital technology
and the convergence of the communications
media have had a significant impact,
raising many legal problems about
access to and use of telecommunications
networks, the Internet and broadcast
media. The LLM aims to identify and
address these issues, thus providing
valuable substantive knowledge for
a lawyer in the ‘information
society’. The LLM scheme is
designed to allow flexibility in student
choice: subjects will be taught as
short, specific courses. This approach
will enable students either to specialise
or to obtain a broader, more general
knowledge of the area of law. Additionally,
the scheme will enable students to
develop key skills from their undergraduate
degree further.
LL.M.
in UK Human Rights and Public Law
has expanded its content markedly
in recent years, reflecting the implementation
of the Human Rights Act in the United
Kingdom and devolved legislatures
for Scotland, Northern Ireland and
Wales. It can be taken in full-time
and part-time modes. It would be especially
attractive to people from throughout
the United Kingdom, and should appeal
to all those from the Commonwealth
or other common law jurisdictions,
plus students from other member states
of the European Union.
Full-time
(12 months) and Part-time (24 months)
