Our generalist Master of Laws (LLM) degree offers a broad and flexible legal education, taught in the heart of London by world-leading academics and practitioners.
Overview
Join a global community of the brightest and most ambitious graduate students at one of the world’s best Law schools. Located in the heart of legal London, our 10-month LLM programme provides students with strong foundations to develop their legal expertise in specialist subject areas. Our shorter study period enables students to fast-track their career and gain a competitive edge in the job market. For those already in practice or with other responsibilities, there is the option to study part-time over two years (10 month each), or a modular/flexible option in which students will have up to five years (10 months each) to complete their degree.
Taught by leading experts, our research-led teaching ensures that what you learn is relevant in any jurisdiction. We offer a wide range of modules, including commercial and corporate law, human rights law, global health governance, environmental law, intellectual property, and legal history. Whether you wish to explore your intellectual interests freely or specialise in a particular area of legal research, UCL Laws provides the flexibility you need.
Entrants to the UCL LLM must have ‘a good 2.1 with evidence of 1st class ability’ (or equivalent in other jurisdictions), and must provide evidence in their application of motivation, reasoning and analytical ability and communication skills.
'A good 2.1’ shall normally mean an average of at least 65% (or equivalent in other jurisdictions) across all years of study, and ‘evidence of 1st class ability’ shall normally mean at least one 1st class mark (or equivalent in other jurisdictions) over the entire degree.
We may be willing to consider applicants who are close to, but do not meet these quantitative criteria, where space on the programme allows. Such applicants must demonstrate that they excel in motivation, analytical and reasoning ability and communication skills. This needs to be demonstrated across the personal statement and the written work. Applicants with less than an average of 62% (or equivalent in other jurisdictions) across all years of study, will not normally be considered under these criteria.
