Law LLM

Entry requirements

2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Law.

We may also consider a UK 2:1 Honours degree, or its international equivalent, in international relations, politics, or a relevant social sciences or humanities subject area.

While we welcome applicants from non-legal backgrounds, it is important to note that this LLM remains a law-focused degree.

If applying with a degree that is not in Law (LLB or LLM) please provide a personal statement and an academic reference.

International students with academic qualifications below those required should contact our partner institution, Glasgow International College, who offer a range of pre-Masters courses.
