The Program
The Birmingham LLM takes one year (full-time) or two years (part-time) to complete and involves the study of six specialist modules and a dissertation. Applicants must have a good undergraduate degree in Law or equivalent.
The Birmingham LLM allows students to follow a general route, with complete flexibility in module selection, or follow one of our specialist pathways. When applying to the Birmingham LLM, students do not need to decide whether they wish to specialise at that stage, as pathway specialisms can be decided once students start on the course.
Our General LLM is ideal if you wish to gain Masters-level knowledge and skills without restricting yourself to just one particular branch of law. The programme provides one of the widest ranges of options in the UK with up to 30 modules available, enabling you to create a unique degree tailored to your future career aspirations.
The specialist pathways available are: Commercial Law, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice, International Commercial Law, International Law and Globalisation, International Law: Crime, Justice and Human Rights, and International Trade Law.
All of our taught programmes follow the same structure:
- In part I of the programmes, you take six 20-credit modules; your module choices will depend upon the programme you decide to follow.
- In part II of the programmes, you research and write a 15,000-word dissertation on a selected topic of law under the supervision of a member of staff.
All of our modules are taught in small-group seminars, allowing equal opportunities for class interaction to all students.
Further details about the LLM programmes, including full module descriptions and student profiles, can be found online at www.birmingham.ac.uk/llm
We also offer a ground-breaking MSc Responsible Data Science programmed created in collaboration with industry and in partnership with Accenture. This degree seeks to equip legal professionals with core computer and data science skills for the ethical governance of data, such as Artificial Intelligence and algorithms.
In addition to our UK-based LLM programmes, we are the first Russell Group University to establish a campus in Dubai. Alongside a General LLM, The University of Birmingham Dubai offers LLMs in International Commercial Law, International Dispute Resolution and LLM Energy and Environmental Law.
We also offer the LLM in Energy and Environmental Law as a distance learning course.
