This specialist Master of Laws (LLM) programme delves into the interdisciplinary field of Law and Economics. It is designed for individuals with a background in either law or economics, offering a unique opportunity to master a new discipline. Lawyers can explore the legal implications of financial and economic issues, while economists can investigate the economic impact of laws and regulations. The programme aims to equip you with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for careers in legal, banking, financial, governmental, or research sectors.
The LLM programme requires completion of 180 credits. This includes compulsory taught modules, elective taught modules from law or economics, and a dissertation. You will select your elective modules during a comprehensive induction period, with guidance from teaching staff. Optional pre-sessional courses in mathematics, statistics, and law are available to help you prepare, along with voluntary access to lectures on Critical Thinking and Writing in Law.
This programme prepares graduates for a wide range of career paths in sectors that intersect law and economics.
