prospective students to pursue legal studies at the highest level. All four LLM Degrees are available to students from both Common Law and Civil Law backgrounds. To be eligible for the LLM, candidates must either have a degree in Law or several years of proven work experience in the legal profession. The course is taught and examined on the basis that students are familiar with Contract Law and with the basic mechanics of Common Law. All LLM Degrees are taught in English.

LLM students take four courses, all of which are assessed by means of written examination. In addition, students must complete a 15,000-word dissertation.
