LLM Master of Laws

Location

Streatham Campus, Exeter

The LLM Master of Laws gives you the flexibility to choose any combination of taught postgraduate modules offered by the Law School. You will have unrivalled opportunity to select modules which appeal to your areas of interest and study across a range of modules taught by leading academics in their field.   We offer access to the most topical, academically rigorous and professionally relevant courses in a variety of legal subjects.

The nature of the group learning that we offer, with a strong focus on student participation, fosters an academically challenging but supportive community atmosphere.  This is further strengthened by the opportunities to participate in international mooting competitions and our skills training programme.

We have close and active links with Exeter Law School alumni and honorary doctorates, many of whom occupy powerful and prestigious roles in the legal community throughout the world.  Where possible, we invite individuals from this community and the broader legal community, to engage with our postgraduate students, whether through research seminars or more informal events, thus providing our students with valuable networking opportunities.

As part of the LLM programme you will have the opportunity to visit the institutions of the EU in Strasbourg, Luxembourg and Brussels for a week, usually during the Spring Term. Although not obligatory, this accompanied tour is regarded as an important part of the educational activity of LLM students who are encouraged to participate, as it is an invaluable chance to see at first hand the workings of these institutions. The cost of the tour in 2010 was £365.

Formal teaching is through small seminars where you can focus on gaining skills and understanding whilst expressing your own views.  As well as direct teaching from academic leaders you will also be involved in class discussions.
