UCL’s Masters of Laws (LLM) is a 10-month course designed to advance your legal knowledge and skills while accelerating your professional development on an international scale. It provides an ideal opportunity for you to acquire or develop your expertise in specialist legal subject areas and engage critically with complex legal challenges of our time.

The course offers an extensive range of modules taught by leading experts including those actively practising in the areas in which they teach. This will provide you with rich insights, connecting your learning to the realities of the legal world today. This combination of practical legal insight and rigorous academic research is a distinct feature of the LLM at UCL Laws.

You can choose to build a broad foundation across multiple legal disciplines or specialise in a particular field. Whether your interests lie in commercial and corporate law, human rights law, maritime law, environmental law, intellectual property, or international law, you can tailor your degree to suit your academic and professional ambitions. You apply to the general LLM and, once enrolled successfully, can choose to join a specialism in your area of interest, or continue on the general LLM route to explore a wider range of legal areas.

The 10-month study period enables you to fast-track your career, giving you a head start in industry and a competitive edge in the job market. For those already in practice, part-time study options are available over two to five years.

By joining a diverse global community of legal professionals and scholars, you will broaden your intellectual horizons and strengthen your international network.

Entrants to the UCL LLM must have ‘a good 2.1 with evidence of 1st class ability’ (or equivalent in other jurisdictions), and must provide evidence in their application of motivation, reasoning and analytical ability and communication skills. ‘A good 2.1’ shall normally mean an average of at least 65% (or equivalent in other jurisdictions) across all years of study, and ‘evidence of 1st class ability’ shall normally mean at least one 1st class mark (or equivalent in other jurisdictions) over the entire degree. We may be willing to consider applicants who are close to, but do not meet these quantitative criteria, where space on the programme allows. Such applicants must demonstrate that they excel in motivation, analytical and reasoning ability and communication skills. This needs to be demonstrated across the personal statement and the written work. Applicants with less than an average of 62% (or equivalent in other jurisdictions) across all years of study, will not normally be considered under these criteria. You need a law qualification to be considered for the LLM, i.e. Bachelor of Laws (LLB), Juris Doctor (JD), Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL). In exceptional circumstances, graduates without a law qualification but with work experience will be considered, however, experience must be relevant and a minimum of five years. This is a very uncommon route onto the programme. Graduates whose first degree is not in law will be considered for admission if they have an average of 65% across all years of undergraduate study, plus an average of at least 65% plus at least one mark over 70% in the Graduate Diploma in Law recognised by UK professional bodies (achieved or in progress). Alternatively, graduates whose first degree is not in law will be considered if they have an average of 65% across all years of undergraduate study, plus have successfully completed studies on a Solicitors Qualifying Examination full time programme of at least 12 months duration, usually resulting in a Masters qualification equivalent to a Merit classification, with an average of 65% in all assessments including a pass in the SQE on first attempt.
