Law Masters (LLM) degrees are increasingly seen by employers as a means to distinguish applicants. If you would like to study a Master’s in Law course that can be specifically tailored to your interests, the LLM General degree is an excellent choice.

You will be given the freedom to choose any combination of LLM modules from the extensive selection offered by UEA Law School, ranging from subjects relevant to international trade and commerce to corporate governance; from international competition law to intellectual property and information technology law; and to more socio-legal subjects, such as the protection of privacy and reputation.

Upon completing your LLM, you will be well placed to pursue a range of exciting careers. Our alumni have progressed to a wide variety of roles, from private practice in local and international law firms to government legal departments and international organisations, and from universities to industry and commerce – the world truly is your oyster.

Study at UEA Law School and you will be joining a School that excels in its dedication to offering intellectually diverse, varied and stimulating postgraduate courses, supported by a wide range of subjects or modules taught by leading experts. The School is based in Earlham Hall, a building of significant historical importance, built in 1642 but recently refurbished.

Each year, we welcome around 100 postgraduate students from a wide variety of geographical and personal backgrounds, and it is the vibrant and dynamic community they create that completes the student experience.

We place significant emphasis on choice, building your confidence, maximising your employability, and developing adaptable transferable skills. We believe small-group teaching at postgraduate level is important, and we aim to keep class sizes low, offering you an unparalleled personal teaching environment with access to our team of international specialists drawn from academia and practice.

We also believe practical and careers experience is extremely valuable, and we’ve developed a programme of opportunities tailored specifically to the needs of our postgraduate students, including placement opportunities for both UK and overseas students. During your course, you can apply for one of our internship placements. You can also attend careers panels, commercial awareness workshops, mock job interviews, our annual Law Careers Fair and many other events organised by the UEA Law School and the Careers Service.
