Master of Laws

Course Description

A Master of Laws (LLM) is a postgraduate degree in law that provides advanced legal education and training to individuals who already hold a professional law degree, such as a Juris Doctor (JD) or a Bachelor of Laws (LLB). The LLM degree is typically designed for individuals who wish to specialize in a particular area of law or who seek to enhance their legal expertise in a specific field.

LLM programs usually require one year of full-time study, although some programs may take longer, depending on the curriculum and the student's pace of study. The coursework may be structured in a variety of ways, including traditional classroom instruction, seminars, research papers, and experiential learning opportunities such as internships or clinical programs.

Some of the most popular areas of specialization for LLM students include intellectual property law, international law, tax law, and corporate law. LLM graduates may go on to work in a variety of legal settings, such as law firms, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and academic institutions.
