Course Description

• The LLM (Global Legal Studies) masters degree provides law graduates with an advanced and systematic understanding of specialised subject areas, affording an ideal platform for students to acquire expertise and knowledge informed by research-led teaching
  
  
• The program is open to all law graduates and graduates of hybrid law degrees, including, for example, Law and French, Law and Business, and Law and Politics
  
  
• The program facilitates career pathways in law, business, politics, non-governmental organisations, and policymaking bodies at the national and international levels
  
  
• The distinct international focus of the program reflects the increasingly global nature of legal practice. Modules offered are distinguished by the approach taken, focusing not on a national or regional jurisdiction, but to address these issues from the point of view of foundational (global) principles and to illustrate these with examples from jurisdictions all over the world
  
  
• Certain modules on the program are run in partnership with leading law firms, offering students the opportunity to apply for work placements at the end of their studies
