Course programme

Our LL.M in Professional Legal Practice can be studied at your own pace over a maximum of five years. To qualify for an LL.M award, you need to earn 180 credits at Masters level. This is achieved by studying six modules (each worth 20 credits) and completing an assignment (worth 60 credits).

Supervised online modules

Supervised online modules combine online study with one-to-one online supervision from a College tutor. They can be studied without any face-to-face tuition or the need to attend one of the College’s UK centres. They have an international focus, making them ideal for overseas lawyers or anyone interested in building their knowledge of international law. These modules are delivered in conjunction with the International Bar Association.

Each module consists of nine units, with approximately 10 to 15 hours of study required per unit. With the support of their tutor, students are required to submit written work via e-mail at the end of each unit (approximately once every two-and-a-half weeks). Submission of these tasks is mandatory and your supervising tutor will provide feedback for each one. You will be provided with a list of unit submission dates once you have enrolled for the course. Depending on your circumstances, we would estimate it to take six months to complete a module.

Using online technology, our aim is to give students studying these modules full access to the expertise of our tutors. You will also be given full access (if you are enrolled) to the facilities at our UK centres. This includes our library and IT resources.

Supervised online modules can be started in January or July each year. As soon as the study materials become available you can begin your study whenever and wherever it suits you.

If you don’t complete the full LL.M

To achieve the full LL.M you need to successfully complete six modules plus an assignment. If you do not go on to complete your full LL.M, you can gain the following qualifications by successfully completing three or six modules:

  • Three modules = Certificate in Professional Legal Practice
  • Six modules = Diploma in Professional Legal Practice
