LLMs (Master Degree)

De Montfort University
Leicester, United Kingdom

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' Each LLM allows you to study from home - whether in the UK or overseas - and keep in contact with tutors by email, telephone, fax and/or post. You also maintain contact with other students, both during and after your studies, offering invaluable peer support and networking opportunities.

The distance learning LLM courses start in October each year and normally take two years and three months to complete. A few places are also available each year for suitably qualified applicants to complete all sections by accelerated learning and complete the LLM in 15 months. Each course has a core module which is assessed by assignment only. All other modules are also assessed solely by assignment.

For 15-credit modules, you are required to produce two 3000 word assignments. For 30-credit modules, three assignments will need to be written - two 3000 word assignments and one 6000 word assignment. In order to graduate with an LLM, you will need to successfully complete the relevant core module, three 30-credit optional modules (or the equivalent thereof in 30 and 15 credit modules) and a 20,000 word project.

The project provides you with an excellent opportunity to study an aspect of the law in your chosen area of study. You can, but not exclusively, select project topics which have a direct bearing on your professional life. The standard of the work produced is very high indeed and from time to time, internal and external examiners have been in agreement that a project is so good that it ought to reach a wider audience.

Attendance at Leicester De Montfort Law School is limited to four days a year at the weekend. The majority of students do manage to attend these sessions and benefit from the tutorials and lectures, as well as the opportunity to meet fellow students. Attendance is not compulsory, however, and we fully appreciate that work and family commitments sometimes mean that it is not possible to come to Leicester, particularly if you are based overseas.

In order to obtain a named award, eg LLM in Environmental Law, it is necessary to study the core module for that course, at least one 30 credit module from the list of modules specifically for that course, and write a project with a related theme. It is possible, therefore, to obtain a named award and yet still have the opportunity to study modules which fall outside the scope of your chosen course. Similarly, it is possible to study a combination of different modules and gain an ’un-named’ LLM award.

If you would like to study full-time on campus, we also offer the Business Law LLM by full-time study, a 12-month course.
