Laws University of London

Overview

Through this programme from the University of London  you can pursue this degree without specific specialisation and select from 68 offered courses, or you can choose to specialise in one of 33 areas.

Key facts:

• You can achieve your LLM even without a prior degree, via our three possible entry points: the Postgraduate Certificate, the Postgraduate Diploma, and the LLM. Even if you choose not to undertake the full LLM, you can gain a respected postgraduate qualification in law.

• With up to five years to complete the programme, you can spread the cost of your degree and continue working full time. With no relocation costs, studying for a University of London degree by distance learning can represent a more affordable option than studying on campus.

Each of the 33 different specialisms can be mapped against these key skills which you can showcase to employers.
