LLM in Law

General

Introduction

The LLM degree has been offered by UCC School of Law since 1992 and remains a very popular vehicle for postgraduate study at the School. Students may either focus their interest in one area, for example, business or international law, or choose from a broad variety of legal subjects. The LLM Degree also provides students with the opportunity to pursue a dissertation in their area of interest under the supervision of dedicated and experienced lecturers. The LLM degree provides students with a high-quality, broadly based postgraduate experience where a commitment to academic excellence is combined with a commitment to developing student appreciation of the practical and policy implications of the law. Applicants for the LLM Degree also have the option of registering for a Postgraduate Diploma in Law. Students take 60 credits of taught masters’ modules from those on offer for the LLM. The Postgraduate Diploma can be completed over 9 months full-time or 18 months part-time. This shorter program may be attractive to legal professionals and others who may prefer not to make an initial commitment to a full master’s program. Graduates of the Postgraduate Diploma may further progress their studies by completing a 15,000-word research dissertation and graduating with a Masters in Law (LLM).     The LLM Degree at UCC offers students a wide choice of options in areas ranging from Criminal, Medical, and Human Rights Law to Internet, Environmental and Intellectual Property Law. Students may choose to specialize in one or two chosen areas of interest or may prefer to sample modules from across the broad range of possibilities. In addition to their chosen modules, all LLM students pursue an individually supervised minor dissertation in an area of interest to them. As part of the preparation for their thesis, students take a course on research methodology. This opportunity allows students to learn advanced research methods and to make a presentation on their dissertation topic.  Why Choose This Course A primary advantage of this course is that it allows students to choose from a wide choice of modules across a range of areas and can either focus their interest in one area, for example, business or international law, or choose from a broad variety of legal subjects.
