This Masters degree course offers you the opportunity to gain an internationally recognized LLM qualification in addition to your LPC. Completing an LLM project will help you to develop the professional and reflective skills necessary for practice, expanding on your legal knowledge, legal application, and ability to critically analyze law, practice, and policy.
