Law LLM

Study theoretical and economic contexts of law and gain the solid foundation you need to further your career. This LLM gives you the freedom to choose from a wide selection of option modules. These modules cover a range of legal specialisms. This includes corporate, commercial, human rights, international, constitutional and criminal law, as well as legal theory and philosophy. This means that you're able to tailor your learning to the areas of the law that you're passionate about.

Develop a practical legal skill set through problem-based learning (PBL). We are the only law school in the UK to use PBL as the basis of our teaching. Under the guidance of expert tutors, you'll work in small student law firms to tackle complex legal scenarios. This modern, hands-on method allows you to develop the key legal skills that lawyers use every day.

Learn from highly approachable tutors with varied legal backgrounds. You'll engage with the expertise of qualified legal practitioners with years of experience working in law firms. Their knoweldge has shaped the design and delivery of key aspects across all our courses and modules.

Build your legal network through career-focused events and opportunities. During your studies, you'll have access to York Law School's Careers and Development Programme. This programme offers a range of employability-focused events and support throughout the year. This includes various networking events with law firms and York Law School alumni.
