Course programme

Course detail Description

This two-year, part-time course blends online modules with five London-based immersive weekends (two in the first year and three in the second) to broaden your legal, commercial and policy knowledge, deepen your specialist expertise and grow your international professional network.

The immersive weekends provide a unique opportunity to work in small teams to tackle cutting edge legal challenges under the guidance of expert academics and practitioners.

Course purpose

Our Executive LLM is a two-year advanced Master of Laws course for ambitious commercial, in-house or regulatory lawyers, keen to build on their achievements and develop their careers while continuing to work at the same time.

Course format and assessment

Students are required to complete 120 credits of taught modules for the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip), and an additional 60-credit dissertation if they wish to complete the Master of Laws (LLM).

Each online module (except the Sectoral Case Study and Skills) takes 6 weeks to complete. Online modules are followed by an immersive weekend (there are five in total over the course of two years) that includes seminars, lectures and an assessment for the modules taken in that period.
