Overview

Law from University of Cambridge as a master's degree, is intended for those who wish to pursue further legal studies after completing their first degree in law, including those who are considering an academic career or intending to practise law.

Key facts

LLM students take four courses from the list of available LLM course offerings. Whilst in principle students have a free choice as to the four courses they take, if a course is particularly popular it might become necessary to limit the number of students enrolled in the course to ensure the best possible learning experience for all participants. In recent years, the number of LLM courses on offer has tended to be in the region of 30. The advanced nature of the LLM programme is reflected in the fact that it is organised and taught separately from the undergraduate law degree at Cambridge. All of the LLM courses are specifically tailored for the LLM programme.
Courses in the LLM are assessed by means of an examination at the end of the LLM year, although students can apply to write a full dissertation in lieu of the examination for one course (only), subject to prior formal approval of their dissertation topic and availability of the dissertation option.
Competence standards are set for the LLM to identify the competences and abilities that students are required to demonstrate in order to successfully complete a programme of study.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Teaching typically comprises 16 two-hour seminars and/or lectures for each of a student's four courses. Provision is normally also made for discussion in smaller groups.
There are no formal 'practicals', but all LLM students are expected to undertake substantial amounts of reading and private study for each of their four courses and may be required to produce written work in preparation for some classes.

Other requirements

General requirements

Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK First class Honours Degree.
The minimum academic entry requirement is a First Class Bachelor's degree in Law from a UK university or the equivalent from an overseas institution. Successful applicants will typically be placed well within the top 10% of law students in their jurisdiction. Due to the large number of very strong applications received, holding a First Class degree in Law (or the overseas equivalent) is not a guarantee of admission.
