Through a rigorous and engaging curriculum, you will develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in legal practice, policymaking, or academia in an in a global legal environment. 

You can choose to build a broad foundation across multiple legal disciplines or specialise in a particular field, including commercial and corporate law, human rights, global health governance, environmental law, intellectual property, or international law. If you have a clear area of focus, you may apply directly to a specialism route, aligning your studies closely with your goals. Alternatively, the general LLM route offers the flexibility to explore a wider range of legal areas.

The 10-month study period allows you to fast-track your career, giving you a head start in industry and 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. 

By joining a diverse global community of legal professionals and scholars, you will broaden your intellectual horizons and strengthen your international network.
