Overview

About Kingston University's LLM courses

Kingston University's LLM courses allow you to specialise and tailor your degree to a topic of your choice, while also giving you the flexibility to take modules on other subjects, making it flexible and easy to adapt to your interests and career goals.

You will complete work worth 180 credits by studying four 30-credit modules and one 60-credit dissertation module.

In addition to the Law School's team of highly skilled academics, courses are taught by experienced practitioners, and many of our lecturing staff combine teaching with legal practice. This helps to ensure that the courses are constantly refreshed with the latest industry thinking and practice, and provides you with the opportunity to mix with people who can provide hands-on experience and insight into their area of legal work.

Kingston Law School has strong links with The Law Society, the professional body that represents practising solicitors in England and Wales.

The International Commercial Law LLM will enable you to meet the challenges of the commercial client by acquiring advanced legal knowledge, as well as practical skills and techniques, in a range of key financial and corporate business areas. It is also a demonstration of your skills, determination and expertise.

Graduates from this course can expect to work in government, international organisations and NGOs, and find roles as in-house legal advisers. Your specialism will help you make career progression in corporate law, financial law, or towards becoming a solicitor or barrister.

For practising legal professionals, an LLM will help you improve and focus your career towards specific areas. You will expand the scope of your knowledge and use your dissertation as an opportunity to carry out independent research in the area that interests you most.
