Advanced Legal Studies - LLM, PGDip

The Legal Research and Writing Skills module is taught in both terms, with optional modules running in terms one and two, and aims to provide students with the knowledge, skills and confidence required to undertake independent research and write an academic piece of work. We are proud of the wide variety of modules we provide and the diverse international nature of our staff and student body.

Legal Research & Writing Skills (LLM Only)

Optional Modules:

Unlike the other specific LLM programmes offered by the School of Law, you are encouraged to develop a package of modules, to let you focus on development within a specialised field of postgraduate study. You can take any modules from our other LLM programmes with no restrictions, and, with agreement from your programme director, a selection of modules from many other departments.
