Specialist Degrees 2024-25

Browse the LLM specialist degrees available for the 2024-25 academic year.

If you want to study an LLM with a specialism, you should apply to the relevant LLM specialism route. If you are unsure at this stage whether you want to specialise or would like to study a general LLM, then you should apply to the general LLM route.

Specialisms offered on the LLM programme vary from year to year. The list below is the provisional list of specialisms for 2024/25. Please note that specialisms are subject to change or cancellation.

Please note that not all modules contained under the specialism will be running each year. A definitive list of all modules running for the academic year 2024/25 can be found on the 'Modules 2024-25' page.

Applicants and offer-holders are therefore advised to check this site regularly for updates and changes.
