Course content

Perhaps you would like to study Law, but you haven’t yet managed to find the course that ‘feels’ just right for you. The University of Hertfordshire’s LLM in Law is the solution you have been looking for! It is designed for ultimate flexibility and focus, to fit your own unique needs, interests and aspirations.

For the LLM in Law you will study four modules of your choice, from a range of 20 that are on offer (as long as they do not form an already existing pathway). This flexibility will enable you to combine your particular interests and specialisms, to tailor your course according to your dreams and ambitions.

Naturally, as you would expect from the University of Hertfordshire, all our modules are taught by specialists in their field, and are supported by up-to-date, cutting-edge research and practice, so you can be sure that your studies will be relevant to your chosen future career. Innovative, active teaching methods and practical, real-world examples will deepen your understanding and equip you with the skills you need to be a real asset to your future employer!

This Programme is validated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority for Continuing Professional Development purposes.
